    Died after 2 months of use.

    The first one I bought quit working after about 8 months. It would not power up and showed no signs of life (indicator light dead). I bought another one in October 2021. In December 2021, it suddenly stopped working and shows no signs of life. Fortunately I bought an extended Best Buy warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. If you buy this product, make sure you cover yourself with a warranty. I hope the 3rd one lasts, but I seriously doubt it!

    Poor DVRS

    Very confusing to use. The time appears to be correct, but it records programs at a different time than set. The unit has locked up once with no response to either the remote or the on/off switch on the unit. I had to unplug it overnight before it would even start again. The manual is very confusing and doesn't match up with the controls. I'm just about to give up on it.

    Not the best, but good little digital tuner

    This the second one I have owned. The first one lasted 4 1/2 years, which sad to say, is not bad by todays standards. Not a bad digital tuner for the price. I've never used the DVR function but the tuner works as expected.

    These are absolute junk. I've had two, both of which lasted less than six months. Don't waste your time.

    I have a small TV that I used to hook up cable boxes to. For as much as it's used - the cable boxes weren't worth it. The TV still has a picture tube which means I needed the convertor box. It's great. I get 40 channels, a program guide, I know what the show is about.

    Great find needed it because I cut the cord and my television didn’t have a place to plug external antenna. Easy plug and play.

    Look Best Buy earned their name as far as I’m concerned. My Kitchen appliances were below everyone else, delivery was on time and installation professional as it gets. Customer Service is second to none. Thanks to all!

    I bought this to turn a monitor into a tv. Antenna coax to box, HDMI from box to monitor, now it's a tv. Worked great. My monitor has internal speakers so easy convert to tv thanks to this box. As for dvr capabilities I don't know.

    Thanks to Vizio making the silly decision to not put a tuner in my TV, I had to get this. It works great and is reasonably priced.

    Not too happy but kept it for a back up! You see the pink start up screen more than anything. I was think the technology would have improved so I decided to upgrade to this from old RCA needless to say I hooked back up my old RCA.

    It is great and I learned a lot from our magical tech electronics guy who recommended this. We went directly to streaming from cable without any issues. It was easy to install.

    I bought it to watch the Super Bowl. After some old fashioned antenna placement got the picture in. Crystal clear better than cable. I haven’t used it much after since I don’t watch tv that much. It gets the job done.
