    I returned the exact same model before plugging into power because a loose item inside. I returned it and was given another at the store. This unit so far(2 wks) has been easy to program for some daily soaps and the time setting was easy and programming agreed with my area exactly. It also picked up additional channels compared to the TV alone. You might consider the 24hr clock a deterrent as I did, but actually easier as you just program an hour instead of AM/PM. Working very well so far. I am working off an attic antenna.

    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.

    Works as intended. You will need an antenna additional to this device to find channels.

    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!

    I just purchased my DVR today & have it installed & working. I'm pretty excited about it's functioning. It is an inexpensive model, "Aluratek", but I trust that whatever I buy at Best Buy will be backed up & any problem will be taken care of.

    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.
