Overall I'm very pleased with this DVR. Since we cut the cord from cable and satellite and switched to antenna, this gives us many more options. Not only can we record the local channels we get from the antenna, but it gives us a channel guide and some additional online channels. We can set it to record series and the guide goes 2 weeks ahead. It can either record 2 shows at once or record one and watch something else. It also allows us to pause and rewind live TV. Although not quite as technical as the DVR that came with out satellite dish server, it does the job. It has 1TB of memory and we have had hours of programming on it and haven't even used 10% of the memory.

By far the greatest product for getting my dad to cut the cord on satellite tv saving him 2000 a year , best part of this product is the channel guide and dvr , wish would add more streaming apps I would purchase for myself

I bought this month ago and I am enjoying it very much. It records our shows. Operation is simple. I had a glitch in setup but tech support helped and they were great as well. They are limited to business hours for help though. Remote and setup is easy. Like the guide. I would like to say I miss my $95 per month satellite bill but I want to keep this honest. LOL I have told my friends who have cut the satellite off and one bought it. He likes it too.

The Channel Master impressed me greatly. Easy to hook up and the DVR works like a champ. I especially liked the signal meter in the settings menu, it helped me zero in on the most difficult channels, ABC in Dallas, with ease. Also, an in-line signal amplifier would be wise, as it improved the signal strength big time. The channel scan brought in 110 channels in my area. After deleting the ones I wasn't interested in I ended up with 35.

I have used several different DVRs in the past to record and play back TV content recorded off the antenna. I would have to say this product excells in all specifications without a doubt. I purchased the model with the 1 TB storage so have a plenty of space to store content. It allows you to record 2 shows from different channels at the same time which is nice feature that I did not have in my previous DVRs. The product is very thin and takes up almost no space and very responsive to whatever you are doing. It does a very good job at picking up channels. About the only negative thing I have to say would be the remote control looked a little cheap but I don't use it anyways so not much of a factor. I use the harmony universal remote to control the unit.
