A:AnswerIf your HDTV has an HDMI input port, you will just need a HDMI cable, an Antenna and some memory storage.
I got this thumb drive, on sale for 9.99
SanDisk - Ultra Fitâ„¢ 64GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive - Black
Model: SDCZ430-064G-A46
SKU: 6182923
A:AnswerYes it can. The user manual is not very friendly, but I found if you plug your TV antenna cable into the device RF In and use a HDMI cable plugged into the device and TV, you can then run a piece of coax from the device RF Out to the TV antenna in. You also need to change a setting in the device where you setup the channels. The setting option is called Modulation. Change this to LOOP THROUGH. (Page 11 in user manual) After you do that change the TV's input to the TV antenna option so you can flip through the TV antenna channels.
This gives you the ability to select the device from your TV HDMI input and use the device/record a show. If you are recording a show and want to watch another channel you then need to change the TV input to the antenna option. You can then watch any of the channels your antenna is picking up.

A:AnswerBad luck, this remote only seems to work on the converter..
But, if your TV is like mine, you will need your TV OEM remote, maybe a DVR remote and maybe a remote for a Amazon Fire TV dongle..
I got remotes coming out of my ears!
A:AnswerI've had problems on units by other manufacturers where the programs don't get recorded over time, but I haven't had any problems with this unit since I got it about a month ago.
A:AnswerThe unit disokays invalid channel when it cannot dectect the channels'n broadcast frequency,
Most likely you need to move your antenna around to 'discover' channel 14.
A:AnswerThe box only picks up OTA (Over The Air) broadcast channels. YOu need either an indoor or outdoor antenna.
As for the 1/4" left on the rf connector, that's about normal.
