    It does work as inteneded. However, if the remove is lost, no setting xan be changed through the menu. In future design, I wish the menu to be accessible from the box.

    Never worked bad purchase on my part, just another company ripping people off. Cannot get money back for time wasted and running across town several times to no avail. Just a loss of money and time. Don't make my mistake!

    Horrible, thought I'd give an OTA DVR a chance, been wanting to experiment with them, and the cost of this one on sale, I thought, you can't beat it. It took FOREVER for the auto channel find, then when you would switch a channel, in 1 second you would hear sound, then 3-5 seconds later the video would come in. I never could figure out the DVR part of it. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is terrible. Switching channels is terrible, and overall performance is terrible, this thing must have a single core ARM cpu in it, ugh!!! I cannot say anything good about it. DO NOT BUY!

    Works ok but it is annoying that it sometimes takes awhile to switch channels. You keep hitting the channel up or down button and nothing happens for like 10 to 15 seconds then it catches up but by that time you have hit it so many times it finally stops on a channel you didn't want and you start all over again. If you have patience its ok you will get there.
