Customers frequently mention the ease of use, DVR capabilities, and recording functionality as positive aspects of the digital TV converter box.

    The Aluratek Digital Converter with digital recorder works great. Needed it for a motor home with a tv that would only work with a converter and Best Buy had just what we needed. Works great and is easy to use. Would definitely recommend

    Very pleased with this little device. Works as described. Great for recording on usb stick and provides guide for over the air channels. HDMI cable provides great HD view, not so much with RCA.

    This box is great and easy to use. Just need to find a decent rabbit ears antenna to bring in all local channels. I got this because Directv, as good as it is, does not carry all our local broadcast channels, and some of them are really fun to watch.

    doesn’t see as many channels (from the digital antenna) as my tv does, so I swap out the antenna connection between the two, as needed; at least I can DVR ABC shows

    The box worked fine but in process of getting the remote fixed or repaired. The buttons on far left side quit working. Fairly old product so it's manufacturer discontinued. I will update or send new review after repairs.

    compared this box to a few named brand boxes and there were no differences in reception, decided to spend more money on the antenna and not the box.

    Bought this for my Vizio monitor that did not have a built in tuner. Easy set up, worked great, but decided to go with AirTv to integrate Sling so I returned it, but if I would not have gone that direction would have definitely kept it.

    I was tasked with figuring out how to play the Super Bowl on our computer controlled four 120” monitor system at work for a massive company Super Bowl party. No cable or satellite available. I used an over the air antenna and this converter to great success. It’s amazing In this digital age how many times I’ve needed an RF signal coax to HDMI connection.

    I am very happy with this product I purchased to record a station that our Network dropped this Spring (FOX) of course this is where I watch all my Nascar races on Sunday. I found Aluratek - Digital TV Converter Box with Digital Video Recorder - Black Model:ADTB01F at Best Buy and took it home hooked it up and I use a 1T hard drive to record the race as it is able to hold the entire race, I recorded today's race and played it back and the unit worked great. A few things you have to do is get used to how the remote works then it is very easy to navigate the screens. Very happy with my purchase.

    This works great! Saved a large old style TV mounted on the wall. Use it while I am exercising on the tread mill so the miles go by more quickly.
