    Plugged it in, fired it up and Presto. With a tabletop "rabbit ears" antenna, plenty of stations found and locked in on.

    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.

    This allows you to record TV shows on a USB Thumb Drive. 2.0 works but 3.0 gives better quality. This box is for someone watching TV OTA with an outside antenna.

    This unit works great for recording from an outside antenna. The only con would be for the instruction manual, it is not very plain in telling how to operate the dvr.
