Customer Ratings & Reviews

First we mounted an antenna from Best Buy to the outside satellite mount , then we wanted to connect two TVs to coax cable that had been installed for the satellite hookup. Our living room TV had a coax connector, and didn't need this converter. Our other Vizio TV did not have the coax connection on it, so the only way to get the antenna to talk to the TV was to use this converter. We were honestly annoyed and frustrated that we couldn't just hook up and go, but this converter worked for us, and we could get all the channels coming in from the antenna! Can't argue with success...

Required a little learning curve (still learning), but works just fine. Does what I wanted it to do. Would definitely recommend.

So far so good have to use the hdmi as antenna because the service guy from conns didn’t check that he hadn’t connected the cable piece so . I can’t use the antenna but hdmi works great.

I am using this digital converter for an old TV in a work shop but would be just fine for anywhere that cable is irrelevant. Easy to set up and with a reasonable antenna brings in clear signal and is completely satisfactory and worth the money. Have not yet used the video recorder but suspect it will perform as expected.

EXCELLENT, COLOR NOT SO GREAT BUT THIS DEVICE IS EASY TO MANAGE AND GIVES YOU A LOT OF CHANELS TO WATCH, THIS ALURATEK- DIGITAL TV CONVERTER BOX WITH DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER IS PERFECT FOR ANY HOME YOU DO NOT NEED ANY CABLE ALSO THE COLOR EFFECTS MAY BASE ON YOUR ADRESS LOCATION, I WOULD RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

The original Insignia converter I purchased when converter boxes became a requirement for over the air lasted for about 12 years. I have purchased two of these in the last 3 or 4 years. If there were a better alternative I would try it - because I bought a third by a different brand in-between those two Aluratek that was even worse. The Aluratek has put stations in places they don't belong (stations with numbers like 3.2 - 3.12 in between stations 7.2 and 7.3 - online guides don't even show me as having any stations on 3), drops out, and turns itself off. Off. Off as in requires cold boot off. The remote also needs to be left upside down, because the design causes the batteries to slide out of alignment if stored right side up. I don't know how many batteries I replaced before I realized that opening the case, and pushing the batteries back into the inside would generally solve it (sometimes they need to be removed and put back in.) The Users Guide no longer has instructions on how to remove channels you have no interest in from the rotation (HSN and it's siblings hold no appeal) and no longer show up as an option on the screen that used to give access to that function. I actually had to return one (so I guess that makes three of these I've had) because it unaligned the image (like scrolling on tube tvs) while I was trying to get out of the submenu - and there was no way to make the cursor/arrow move when you had the image scrolling every 2 seconds. It's like the manufacturer of this adaptive device wants to force you to buy a new tv.

+ Receives over the air channels decently and enables me to play them on analog tv + lots of setting options + able to set things up to record - only in military time (could not figure out how to change) - programming is cumbersome

Decided to cut the cord and switch to streaming with an antenna for live tv. I didn't realize that my smart tv didn't have a coaxial port on it so I had to buy a receiver for the antenna to work. I was extremely impressed with this one. It basically worked just like a normal cable box. I loved it. However, I had to return it because where I live, I could hardly pick up any channels at all with the antenna. If I didn't live in such a rural area, I would definitely get this.

Easy to use. Not very expensive. The installation is very easy. Has good features.

Just what I needed to get away from high cost cable able to record free tv antenna programs for viewing at a later time.

Works well, good quality, value priced. Would recommend to other buyers.

Gets the job done for a fair price. You'll need to buy an antenna if you dont already have one.

Had this item for about a year. Worked great initially, picked up most channels in my area and picture was clear. However this weekend it refused to turn on. After reading other reviews, seems to be a common problem with this product. For $50 I'd expect more.

This product is great but you didn’t have it in stock aluratek digital tv converter however we had the best salesman there in the Boise store Noah mallindine, he ordered and took payment for the part it means a lot to older people who are not computer savvy. Made our visit to your store non stressful and he knew what he was talking about

Best option when you don’t have a smart tv yet I know 2025 but my old tv still works fine

Interface a little clunky but works. Records well but you need to check and double check it's set for the correct time zone and record times.

Needed this for one of my TV's works great and easy set-up.

Good for recording program you don't want to miss. Picture isn't the finest but good enough. Great value for the money.

The unit itself works, but the remote is atrocious! It needs to be pointing at the box perfectly in order for it to work at all. There is no room for error.

This is a cheap but affective way to record tv. Its a good product for the price.
