    I am still learning how to maximize using this, but so far it's been good. I'd like to add a hard drive to it, so that I can record and store more shows, since it takes me a while to go through shows. Seems to work well, but takes a little time getting used to it. It's a little different from the type of DVR that came with my DirecTV.

    Easy to install and use. Will not fill in wide screen with picture. Instructions say you can change picture diameter to fit your screen but it does not work.

    I purchased this digital converter box because my TV antenna plug in is broken off. It was very easy to install and set up to watch regular over the air antenna programming. This box even allows you to record live telivision!

    I wanted to use the HDMI cable that I had connected to my TV when I had Frontier Cable so I bought this converter box. It works fine. It was easy to install but not that easy to use some of the features.

    It was a great product that did everything advertised, until it stopped turning on. Used it sparingly during football season 2023. Didn't use it for a while and now it won't even turn on. Beware that it won't last!

    the converter box works just right and is easy to use, easy to scan. the recorder is a little clunky. setting it is like the way you used to have to set the old vcr's to record. I am still happy because I have the ability to record over the air programming, but I wish it were a tad easier.

    It's a good tuner

    We have a 70" tv without a tuner so we bought this to bring in channels from an antenna. Works great, no issues with scanning for channels. The only negative is that the recording feature is somewhat 'klunky' to use. I have a 32gb flash drive plugged in for recording shows that I formatted to xfat before inserting. I can't schedule a recording more than a day in advance unless there's a setting I can't find. Fast forwarding/Rewinding is difficult to use once the show is recorded, but the recording does look good. Overall, we like it.

    Easy to set up and worked perfectly connected to projector and when we updated to surround system, worked great also. As a note may want to use hdmi for best picture.

    I needed this to hook up an antenna and the tv did not have a coaxial plug. It was easy to install and connect. I would recommend this. It picked up 50 plus stations.

    The Aluratek Digital TV Converter Box was a great deal. The fact that it came with a remote was the reason I bought it. It is very easy to use and I would definitely recommend it to others. In fact, I intend to buy my Mom a converter box as well

    Freezes up frequently. Has to reboot itself at least twice a week. Hard to enter programs to record. Must leave TV on to record. Instructions for watching while recording are not available. But still a good product.

    Basic Set-Up and easy to Program. 2 Negative things about this Converter Box is: 1- The Time keeps changing back to Military Time. 2- The moving of the voice to the lips of the person speaking doesn't fully match, but that's what you get with Analog HookUps.
