    This product is easy to use. It is small enough to fit in the space I have for it.

    This box works great to capture several channels with the TV antenna. The only problem I have is that the buttons on the remote are hard to push.

    It will record with an external device. I wish you could record something and watch some else or even watch something that you already recorded. Yes it say you can recorded something and watch something while your recording something as long as it is the same numbering scheme Example ( 4.1, 4.2, 4.3) but you can't go to 5.1 or 8.1 and record.

    I use it for OTA recorder. You need your own flash drive. I only record couple of shows and happy with the recording. Technology does seem little primitive but for a device this cheap, works fine.

    Nice screen for OTA channels. My only complaint is it doesn’t label the show with the title, only the file name. Otherwise, it works great. Mine had a broken remote. Customer care at the manufacture level is amazing. They sent a new remote right away with no issues.

    Interface for recording is clunky. Not much storage space for recordings. Worthwhile to spend more money for a better one or use an app.

    It does tune in stations over the air but you must have a drive to plug into it to record anything. It also has games you can play that are pretty fun.

    AMAZING Tuner

    This tuner is unbelievable. Make the necessary attachments and it pretty takes over from. Fed up with satellite fees I decided to just with Prime, Netflix and Hulu for streaming but still wanted my local channels. This fit the bill to a tee! Good HD quality and even has pause and recording capabilities which I haven't quite mastered yet. But still very pleased with picture quality and channel access.

    It works great but only downfall is that you have to get the perfect aim for the remote to work as the converter box won’t pick it up from different angles.
