    It is okay, but you can only record and watch a channels that are a sub-number of that channel. But I have 2 TVs!

    My Geek Squad agents tried and stated that I did not need this product. They returned it for me at Best Buys and I received the return payment on my credit card. I am so thankful that they were HONEST!!!!!

    My wife got this for my birthday so I could record OTA TV, She asked a Best Buy associate about the DVR's ability to record and was told it would record. I opened it up, set it up and found it needed an external storage device. I tried a 64g flash drive and that didn't work. I boxed it up with the intent to return it but got busy until after the 30 day return window. Now I have DVR that doesn't record and can't do anything with.

    For the price I didn't expect too much. It stopped working after about 12 months. My father has an older tv that does not show the description of what is on in the title so he liked to use this. I just gave up the ghost and there are not much options out there for this. I'll probably need to get him another tv.

    This is a great digital converter. Admittedly you have to get the controller just right in the zone for the signal to be received but I can't give this 4.5 stars so I rounded up.

    There was a bit of a learning curve but it definitely does what I wanted it to do. I have not used the record features though.

    This was a case where you get what you pay for. It looked good on paper, as I wanted a simple DVR with an HDMI out. I fought with it for a couple of weeks, and then finally splurged for an amazon Recast as a DVR and stuck a firestick in the TV. Everything works much better now.

    I wouldn’t get it. It’s junk and it doesn’t record anything on the air. You can miss your shows easily with this DVR. Better to get it from a cable company.
