Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the excellent picture quality and ease of use of this DVR. Many appreciate its reliable recording capabilities and the overall functionality as a DVR. However, some users have noted limitations with the number of tuners and the channel guide's functionality. The channel guide's lack of detail regarding new shows in a series was a common point of feedback.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good but only two tuners a significant limitation.
This is likely the best DVR currently available for recording over-the-air TV that does NOT require any monthly subscription. It would have been better if it had 3 or 4 tuners instead of just 2, however. Two tuners allows simultaneous recording of two programs OR recording one program while watching another. You cannot watch one program while simultaneously recording two others. Also, WiFi support is NOT built in. A USB adapter must be purchased separately from Channel Master. Only some 3rd party WiFi adapters will work. Probably only WiFi adapters with the same chip set as the Channel Master adapter have any chance of working. (The TP-LINK TL-WN822N Wireless N300 High Gain USB Adapter does work. It is what I am using.)

TV on my schedule. No monthly fee.
Never had cable, dish, or TiVo as I refuse to pay a monthly fee for TV. Yes the upfront cost for device is there but add up what you would pay a month for a service and it pays for itself in time. Device is so streamline and easy to set up. The built in 1T hard drive is more than enough memory for me and if I ever I want to expand I can hook up an external hard drive. I would recommend getting the wifi adapter too as you will get more programming information than from just the OTA signal. I never miss my shows and can fast forward through commercials. Love it!

excellent product
Great product!!!! Easy to setup. software/guide is great. Remote works great but set up my Harmony remote to run unit which was also easy. Wife loves DVR/Guide. This was deciding factor to cut cable. We hooked this up to Hi-Def OTA from radio shack and get a better picture than cable and none of that annoying audio lag either. Glad I cut my cable bill to zero..
