Product Manuals

Q: Do I have to connect this box via the coaxial input on my TV? My coaxial input Port broke off. I need to attach my antenna so could I use this? I don't have cable I just get over the air.

A: This box is connected directly to the antenna. It then sends its output through your wi-fi network. Any device you want to watch TV on has to have a wireless connection and the ability to download the software that goes with the box. If you want to use the TV with the broken coaxial connection it must have wireless connectivity and the ability to download and run the Hauppauge app (and you must have a wireless home network) or the Hauppauge Cordcutter TV will not help you.

Save your money
On paper, this is exactly what I was looking for. It has the one thing that the Fire TV Recast is missing: a QAM tuner (though my initial test was with a standard ATSC antenna). In practice, however, this device is a disappointment. Initial setup wouldn't work on any of the 3 Android devices that I own (1 phone, 2 tablets, all on different versions of Android). Good thing I have an iPhone for work. Scanning for channels is pretty quick, but, going against all logic, the channels aren't stored on the Cordcutter TV. You have to run a scan on each phone, tablet, and streaming device that you want to use with your Cordcutter TV. Live TV works well enough, but the picture quality doesn't compare to a straight antenna-to-TV connection. There's occasional choppiness, but it's not too terrible. The app is poorly designed. It's not user-friendly, and the interface looks old. The messages are written in poor English. The firmware update screen says "Cordcutter TV has operated normally you can check upgraded your device version." Quality control doesn't seem to be a priority for Hauppauge. The DVR functionality is downright awful. The "guide" that they provide is a joke. It only goes ahead a few hours, and you can't use it to schedule a recording. Recordings have to be scheduled manually by selecting the channel, date, start time, duration, and video quality. Recordings are extremely poor quality, if they play back at all. And I can't find a way to delete a recording, aside from removing the flash drive and plugging it into my laptop. Don't waste your money.

Good OTA Streamer, No Apps for Fire TV & Roku
Works well on iOS and Android phones & tablets. NO official apps for Amazon FireTV (box) & Roku (private). I contacted support, only given the private app for Roku, but has bugs (prompted to scan channels on start.) I have both the FireTV box & Stick; unfortunately, app shown not compatible with either. It would be a five stars, but its lacking earns 2 stars. Debating on returning it.

It's OK.. It works pretty good..
Seems like I have to reboot it a lot.. It's slow about loading the guide. Works better when it is on wifi and not direct plug in to the router. Over all it's ok and it works. Needs some tweaks.
