QuestionWill this converter allow for more OTA channels to be picked up then with antenna alone (currently using the LEAF) and getting about 30 channels. Will this allow for other channels the LEAF cannot pick up?
Asked 6 years ago by XNation1.
- Answer Unlikely. It has a pretty good tuner, better than some TV's but do not expect miracle. For more channels you may need an outdoor antenna and/or antenna cable amplifier (as close to antenna itself as possible). Hein.

QuestionRecorded programs stutter. Image lags behind speach both on recorded and non recorded programs. Restarting helps for a short period.
Asked 6 years ago by Richard.
- Answer Yip. Same here, with respect to the audio video sync issue. I haven’t recorded yet, and probably will not now. It is still better than the tuner on my older tv., and cheaper than a new tv with refined tuning circuitry.

QuestionWill I be able to watch the recordings back on my TV or only on a computer screen or other similar device
Asked 6 years ago by Mickey.
- Answer You can watch them anywhere you can open the video file. If you want to use the device and remote to watch recordings back then press the USB button. Select the PVR option, find the folder where the recordings are being saved, select the recording and press OK. When the recording starts to play it will be in a small area of the screen. If you press the HOLD button the recording will switch to full screen viewing. If you want to watch the recordings on another device then unplug the USB storage and plug it into another device that plays video files.

QuestionWe own a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV Monitor tv. We've worked with satellite in the past,, due to no antenna reception in area/terrain. We've moved and I would like to know if your ADTBO1F tuner/converter will allow us to use this tv with an outdoor antenna?
Asked 6 years ago by Beverly.
- Answer It works best with an outdoor antenna. But if you live close to the TV transmitter towers, you could try an indoor antenna and see if you get all the local stations. My outdoor antenna is on a 30 foot tower, so I can see stations about 40 miles away. If your Sony TV has a spare HDMI input port, you should buy an HDMI cable. Or you can use the included 3 wire RCA cable (video, left & right audio). There is also a Coax output that can provide RF Channel 3 output for people with the old analog TVs..
