    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 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 does the job for the money. It could definitely be more user friendly. I have had to unplug and reset a few times because it locks/freezes up for some reason. I will look for another option next time if they haven't made some improvements with a new model.

    Does ok as a converter box. Recorder not as easy. Seems to work great until it is something we really wanted to watch. Then playback is a little unpredictable. Watching playback of a football game was not smooth and it would crash if we tried to fast forward more than 2x thru commercials. The instruction manual is worthless.

    The receiver is inadequate resulting in pixels throughout the recorded film and the viewed program. My antenna is rated for 150 miles & works fine with the tv.

    It recorded over-the-air TV shows, but the reception wasn't as good as it is without the unit, and, even worse, the user interface was so clumsy & clunky to use that it was too frustrating. The fast forward function didn't really work at all. I had to return it to the store.

    We have a smart tv but it had no connection for our coax antenna. This made all the difference in the world. Great signal and I had it installed in less than 5 minutes.

    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.

    Works good does what it suppose to do, once you get the right spot for your antenna it's great. con - it freezes sometimes if you input the wrong command or hit the buttons too fast it will reset.
