Great little machine!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little DVR. Had reservations about purchasing it but since my Panasonic DVD DVR quit I had to try it. It works off your TV antenna so you don't have to worry about any other fees. Like most products the instructions are lacking. I went online and read the questions an found out how to record one channel and watch another. It's worth every penny especially since I can use a usb- equivalent to 6 DVD's an less space.

It is a tuner, nothing more
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed this because my big expensive tv that I bought years ago did not have a tuner built in. It is easy set up, fast, and the picture looks good. I do not use the DVR function so I can not comment on it.

Aluratek is garbage...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The box will get television channels. This is the fourth box that I've had that just suddenly stops working after 2 years. Seemingly the two boxes that I had purchased on the same day both stopped working within one week of each other. I have owned four of them and all of them have broken and just stopped turning on. Don't waste your money. Buy a different brand. It's not even worth buying the warranty

Basic but Very Good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice screen for OTA channels. My only complaint is it doesn’t label the show with the title, only the file name. Otherwise, it works great. Mine had a broken remote. Customer care at the manufacture level is amazing. They sent a new remote right away with no issues.

It's okay wish it had more.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It will record with an external device. I wish you could record something and watch some else or even watch something that you already recorded. Yes it say you can recorded something and watch something while your recording something as long as it is the same numbering scheme Example ( 4.1, 4.2, 4.3) but you can't go to 5.1 or 8.1 and record.

Good recorder
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for OTA recorder. You need your own flash drive. I only record couple of shows and happy with the recording. Technology does seem little primitive but for a device this cheap, works fine.

Works, but burns out
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third or fourth of these I have needed. It is the only choice I can find. So when this one fails. I will get another to keep my TV going. They work well until they die

please print a better manual
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this converter in conjunction with an antenna for my old back-up CRT tv. It has a surprising number of features. My big complaint is with the documentation. You need to use on screen menu keys in order to navigate around but my 14" CRT tv has very poor resolution for this tiny print. The manual is of little help in using the full capacity of the converter. But this would be a good way to use that old TV you have while in the garage or shop.

Customer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Actually my review is not of the product itself but the customer service i got at best buy. I had bought the product some time ago and bought a 4 year service warranty with it. It actually didn't last but a few months I couldnot find my receipt. No problem. They looked it up by my phone#. Did not have one in stock, but had one sent to my house by the next day. I was really impressed to say the least. Kudos to best buy.

Best Buy Saves the Day
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had an AV emergency at a major sports venue...we needed to pull off-air signals to direct into the big screens. On a hunch, I went to the Best Buy site and they had TWO in stock, in the middle of NOWHERE Michigan. Thank you Best Buy, you saved the show! Excellent service at the time of sale btw....the associate didn't know what I was talking about...we went to the website, he hit a button and the tag on the shelf flashed. Well done!
