    The converter works as expected. My over the air antenna now gives a picture on an old tube tv in the garage. Haven’t tried recording anything.

    The TV I have doesn't allow me to do certain things I want to do such as use my USB that I use for movies. I would have to use my XBOX and I hated doing that. I got this converter box and its perfect. I highly recommend.

    After Spectrum took away my ability to use my beloved TiVo, this gives it at least some functionality. I use it with my Insignia HD antenna which I have hung in my window. Easy to setup and use. My only complaint is times are in 24 hour format. I can do the math but it is not my first language and it just slows down the process. I have not tried the recording function yet but I think it will be a useful feature as it claims to have two tuners so I can watch one show while recording another. Plus it has the ability for unattended recording, I think.

    I have tv and it works. Hopefully it’s not as poorly made as the mediasonic tuners. Those are total garbage and last only 1 year at the most.

    Average Box to Watch Local Channels

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The box is very limited in functionality, but does a great job by getting local channels to watch on the TV without TV tuner. I got 75 inch Vizio TV without tuner. Now, when I 'cut the cord', I needed local channels, so, this box gets what I needed. It has hdmi output that's nice. The menu is very basic and not user friendly, but you wouldn't need to go there often. Overall, I'm satisfied with the product.
