Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was the easiest setup I have ever experienced with electronic devices. Everything was easy to understand and functional when completed. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

This converter box has stopped working twice since my initial purchase in April of 2021. I tried changing outlets, rebooting, (nothing) So I emailed aluratek for a replacement in July, that was received in August and now Jan 2022 it has quit working again. Although this box is easy to use and set up it is very unreliable poorly made. I would not recommend it.

I'm really content with this purchase, lost the old magnavox box that was given out in 2009ish for my old flat screen from 2004 and didn't want to replace an old analog tv since it still works. This box works on the tv/video mode with no problems. Also it records live tv for you too, not a bad price if you're looking to keep old tv consoles that are only analog.

This unit works great. Instructions are a little wonky, but everything is very intuitive without needing the instructions.

This item has enhanced my entertainment endeavor. Quick hookup, no complication.

Worked as-advertised for exactly 3 months and promptly died and no longer turns on. Oh and the user interface was horrible (think back to the year 1997.) Too late to return, waste of $40. It's a wonder Best Buy is still in business to even sell this junk in the first place.

I love the product! It picks up more over-the-air channels than other converter boxes that I've used in the past.

These boxes serve one purpose that the manufacturers and the store employees miss or just don't realize the value of. I walked into a Best Buy and wanted a way to record OTA TV and they just said you can't do it or buy a TiVo. But these TV Converter Boxes work! You CAN RECORD over the air TV with them. I have done using OTHER converter boxes they basically work the same way. In fact the interface for the software is the same on many boxes. I have been recording TV on a USB thumb drive with a converter box. But for HDTV I would recommend a USB hard drive...they are dirt cheap too. Now you can get an Amazon Recast that will do it too. But those are 229 to 279 buck and this is under $50. When you see a TV Converter Box with a USB port it means you most likely can record OTA TV...just like a VCR

Got this product after after we switched from Comcast. It is delayed during bad weather but is to be expected. But overall 4/5 stars.

Ordering from Best Buy was very easy and it was delivered as promised. Within 2 days. Great product and easy to set up on our television.

For channels I could get on my tv its great but I can't program the stations

Purchased so I could record shows from OTA that come on when I am at work or asleep. It takes a usb 2.0 flash drive or external hard drive. I purchased a 3.0 usb 2 tb hard drive. It is backward compatible to 2.0 usb. I had a 4tb external drive that would register but not work. I assume the reason is because it was too large and self powered. The new one I purchased receives its power from the PVR usb connection. So if you want to be sure you can record...get a drive that is either a 2.0 usb or backward compatible to 2.0. Also, be sure it does not have to have its own power source. You can program it to record 1 time, daily or weekly. You can also set it to just change to the channel for viewing. Once the video is recorded you can edit the title to what you want. Pull the drive and transfer the video to another storage device to watch later. While hooked to my TV via the hdmi (not included) it has it's own volume control. It really increases the level of sound from my sound bar. Its incredible. This has been the best $125.00 combined that I have spent.

Works well, as advertised. As with any tv requiring an over the air antenna, you may have to move the antenna throughout the room, to fine tune the station, depending on what channel you are watching. This is no fault of the converter box. Thank you!

First off it says dual tuner but I can only watch the station I am recording. If I change the channel it will record the channel I am watching. Also it use to record 5 programs when I was not at home. But for some reason it stopped. The only way to get it to do that again is to delete my list of programs to record and set them back up.

Pretty good item. Only lacks in complete description of tv shows. Just gives a general term instead of a specific show title.

Works great! Far superior to the old converter I had. Setup was simple.

Great for the tv lover, I missed my morning news. So glad I got it

Piece if junk. Just stopped working one day and would not power on.

works fine but the most used buttons for channel selection are on bottom portion of remote which is ACWARD TO HANDLE

Works well to bring in OTA, but that's about it. Program guide is clunky, only shows 1 channel per screen. Once recording starts not able to add different recording for later time or adjust any settings. Does not allow to watch a different channel while recording in process. Playback is lousy. Skips, freezes, and drops out / shuts down playback. No resume function on dropout.Poorly written instructions, and very poor customer service. And remote is clunky. Returning ASAP!
