That's funny.  My local Walmart has Magnavox units in stock for a few months now.  Haven't been there lately so they might have pulled them off the shelves (I wouldn't know why) but I'm assuming they are still there unless sold out.  IIRC it looked like that had about a couple dozen.

I also have the same question as you, what converters are good? :()
