Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the third Aluratek I have bought in the past 6 years, They last two years and stop abruptly. Problem is I can't find anything else. Open to suggestions because I have now spent $150 on three of these.

This is good for the price. Not super intuitive, but the instruction booklet covers most features clearly. The box says it can record a channel while you record another channel but I am only able to change to a different sub-channel while recording.

It's ok but remote is clunky compared to other models I've used. It slow changing channels.

Grwat picture using hdmi. Would be perfect if the display showed the actual channel information.

Has a few design flaws like being slow, Needs of frequently booting. Anything is better than being a Cable or Satellite slave. Display is useless. Everything is on the TV screen. Records audio only in PCM, not Dolby Surround. Programming recording is a little complicated.Not possible to record Monday to Friday only shows, will record the whole week instead.

Price was great. Not hard to figure out. Would highly recommend.

I bought this primarily for an Over The Air digital recorder. That was my first mistake. We tried it for a football game, but almost every play would skip for a second or so and cause you to miss important details. I would not recommend this for football or any other sports. I was using a Sandisk 128GB flash drive designed for USB 3.0 speeds to record the game. Also: upon first plugging the unit in, it was all blurry and jumping around like a nintendo cartridge that wasn't seated correctly. It looked like a buggy time-warp TV show or something. It turns out that I had to go into the menu and adjust the signal to 1080 non-interlaced (or something similar) for my TV to work with this device. After adjusting the resolution setting, the picture was actually viewable like a real TV. But the recording is still TERRIBLE! After failed attempts at finding and changing any settings that would fix the issue, we returned this unit. Thankfully Best Buy was willing to accept the return of this poor quality TV recorder.

This Ota recorder works just fine. Its hard to understand in the beginning so i suggest looking at videos to understand it. But for less than $50 its great !!!

Works as advertised. Works well via HDMI and antenna to my outdoor projector.

I needed a tuner for my projector set up. This does the job, but it's got a weak User interface in my opinion.

Sold interface and I like the option to add hard drive for a DVR

Setup is easy, channels are good, need good antenna, good converter box.

Exactly what I needed! The coaxial input on a TV I don’t have cable to quit working. I needed something for the HDMI input to use as an antenna. This product works great and brings in lots of channels. One of my friends had the same problem. She saw how well mine works and bought one for herself!

this TV converter didn't last a week, but since I forgot where did I get from until today. I throwed away

hooked up and running so far so good to watch tv and see listings, next will be recording and so on

Excellent TV and Excellent Price.Best Buy is my ONLY Store.

Does a good job. Can work as a DVR with a usb drive. Menu’s not that easy to follow naming your recordings. Needs improvement

Perfect for USB flash drives 2.0 & 3.0 video playback, but some of the videos would freeze and requiring a reboot. Not easy to use. Must read user's manual. This is not a plug in and play device.

easy to use. It does what it says. of course its performance depends on a good antenna and reception

Aluratek - Digital TV Converter Box with Digital Video Recorder Pro: I bought to cut cable TV using an amplified antenna works quote well., I was able to record programs while I was away use a USB storage device for DVR recording still remember programming even power outage Con: The user manual don't provide enough information. The box says it is a dual tuner device is misleading.
