    This stopped working completely within 4 months. It doesn't power on. I would stay away.

    I can't believe that Best Buy would sell something that was dead out of the box. I read a couple of reviews one of which did say they received a dead unit. I figured this was just a fluke. When I got mine home and plugged it in .... DEAD nothing! I was very disappointed. I read there were problems setting it up but never got to find out about that. My advise.... stay away from this unit.

    Seems to have a better tuner than other similar units I've tried. I also like the software and EPG.

    Destroyed my USB memory sticks

    This device has destroyed 3 USB sticks in the two months I've owned it. I cannot use it any longer for fear of destroying more USB memory. Am in the process of working with Aluratek customer service to replace the device (refund not available under warranty). IF they replace it I will likely never use it as USB memory adds up to more than this product is worth.
