Q: QuestionCan you record more than one program at the same time?(8 answers)
A: AnswerNo. And if you're recording, you can only watch the channel being recorded. This product is not recommended. In addition to bugginess on recordings (I've had to recordings fail), there are sync problems on live TV with audio and video. This necessitates restarting the unit. This product badly needs a firmware/software update; an inquiry to the company concerning this has gone unanswered. ~Answered by WLB1
Q: Questionstorage size?(6 answers)
A: AnswerThe dvr has no built in memory. You can use a thumb drive or an external hard drive for storage. I used a 128GB thumb drive and it worked just fine.Answered by csb82973
- A: AnswerIf your cable company uses their cable box, this won't work as the cable company communicates with their box to control what channels you get. This is mainly for broadcast channels received with a antenna.
Answered by Tech208guy
- A: AnswerThis unit is not Internet-capable. It is designed strictly to receive digital over-the-air broadcasts. In order to record a program, a flash drive (not included) must be attached. While the unit is recording, the channel being recorded is the only channel that can be viewed.

- A: AnswerYes, I have my Alurstek plugged into an analog TV and it works fine. I use a digital antenna to connect to the Aluratek as well.

- A: AnswerNo, it does not require any subscription. We use it with an antenna. It shows only the guides put out by each individual station. These can be just the for the day or 24 hours in our area. Recordings can be scheduled early as long as you know what, when, and where. We preset to record late shows and that was just a onetime deal. It has faithfully recorded each show since we set it.
Answered by Char
- A: AnswerYou need to have a short black cable going from the box to the antenna input on your tv, then hook your antenna be it a outside or inside antenna to the box directly for local channels.
