    I thought I was purchasing the easy to use dvr but it did not connect with the service I had nor would it function to record manually. If anything it operated more as a block on the system.

    Don't think of this product as something you own. Think of it as something you rent for $7 per month. The Best Buy service desk will take it back as electronic waste when it ceases to even turn on. But you'll still be out the $7 per month while it worked.

    Difficult to program and set up. User guide is not clear on how-to set up to record programs and watch a different program at the same time.

    I was looking for cheap, and I got cheap & nasty. Does almost nothing I'd come to expect from a DVR; no directory, no ability to freeze a show while it's being recorded, records only one show at a time. It went back within days.

    Plugged it in and worked exactly as described. Channels come in clearly and channel changing has no issues. Added an info option I didn't have on the TV for guide.

    Worked great. Tried a few off of Amazon and they stopped working a few days or weeks in. Like to buy locally in case it needs returned.

    Recording option is not dependable. Sound and picture don’t correlate. Since I stopped using it, I’ll probably return it.

    Defective Guide

    The guide times did not have A.M or P.M. so setting up a recording event was impossible. I’m not sure if it was defective or what but for the price I decided to return it. There are other similar products on the market with a proper guide for much less.

    Horrible experience with this box. It died two different times and the store messed up the return so they refused a refund.

    Love the ability of getting free channels and using this box with an older flat screen TV makes it possible to change channels and have a remote for complete control.
