QuestionWill the tuner receive ATSC3.0 Next Gen TV channels?
Asked 3 years ago by Carl.
- Answer I do not think so. It is designed for over the air channels but I do not think it does the next gen 3.0. Contact us at support@aluratek.com for more details.

QuestionCan't get the recorder to work when on timer, only works manually..can't figure it out
Asked 3 years ago by Hiker.
- Answer I have exactly the same problem. I've tried both a USB HDD (2TB) and a 32GB flash (both formatter per directions) and timed recording doesn't work, only works manually. Customer support was responsive, but couldn't offer any solution. The suggested 'software update' is not possible because there is no way to obtain a file from Aluratek, that I can find.

QuestionCan I use this to hook into my projector through the receiver?
Asked 3 years ago by Tom.
- Answer Mine died after 6 weeks so I'd consider other brands. Their customer service people were incredibly rude and I had to ship it back to Aluratek at my expense.

QuestionCan I use this with a vintage receiver on AUX to play songs stored on the USB drive?
Asked 3 years ago by Rouster.
- Answer I do not think so. The USB drive (32GB or smaller) is mainly for recording your TV shows, but you can play media directly from the card but not from a stereo receiver.

QuestionI have tried two different external hard drives. When I plug them in the box says "boot" and nothing works. Any suggestions?
Asked 3 years ago by Joe.
- Answer It works well for me. Did you buy an HDMI cable that goes from the tuner box to the TV? and did you do the same with a coaxial cable? The Aluratek allows me to watch a nice array of channels including most of the major networks except for ABC.

QuestionWill Firestick work with this box?
Asked 3 years ago by Djdaryl.
- Answer No. A Fire Stick usually needs an HDMI connection, but more to the point our TV Box is for over-the-air (OTA) channels only. Cable and other streaming devices cannot be converted through the box and then output to TV.

QuestionWhich button on remote turns tv on and off?
Asked 3 years ago by 1946.
- Answer The remote only works on the converter box, not on the TV. You will need to use your TV remote to turn your TV on, then put your TV on the correct input for use with the converter box. Then you use the Aluratek remote.

QuestionMy CONVERTER BOX WON'T LET ME OUT OF THE PROGRAM PAGE. I HAVE RAN THE CHANNEL SEARCH FOR THE USA. BUT I CAN'T GET OF IT.
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Normally you would tap the MENU button on the remote control to exit. If it's froze then try turning the TV Box off. You may have to unplug the unit as well. Typically the box will freeze if you are using an outdoor antenna. That box is only designed for an indoor antenna. Contact support@aluratek.com for more assistance.

QuestionAlong with the digital tuner function, can this device be used as an audio splitter, i.e. audio output through HDMI to TV simultaneous with audio output through RCA jack to a hearing aid device? I am asking if it drives all outputs or just one selected?
Asked 3 years ago by Keira.
- Answer That is a good question. The unit may drive audio to both HDMI and RCA at the same time, and if it does then this could work. Contact us at support@aluratek.com and we can check with our product team to be sure.

Questionihave hooked up to v1z10 tv, and it is not coming on???? what shall I do ?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer My Aluratex converter functions very well. I first connected coaxial cable of my RCA antenna to the "RF In" port on the back of the digital converter & next I took the converter's coaxial cable & connected it to the "RF Out" port in the back of the converter and the other end of this cable to the back of the TV into a port called "DTV/TV Cable/Antenna". Next I took the cable with the HMDI 1 and inserted this cable into the HMDI I port in the back of the TV and the other end of this cable in the back of the converter into the port called "HMDI 1 OUT." Then insert the three colored composite cables (red, yellow & white) in the back of the converter, matching the colors of the composite cables to the colored holes of in the back of the converter. Also insert the other end of these cables in the back of the TV's colored hole, matching their holes, however be sure to insert these into the back of the TV in a section labeled AV GOOD "Video Audio R Audio L." Do not insert these cables in any other part of the back of the TV. Finally be sure your antenna is plugged into & turned on. Hopefully this detailed information is helpful. When I first turned on the TV, the converter took about 5 minutes to get going. I've tried other converters and this is the best. If you still have problems, I will have videos for you. Elizabeth
