Rated 3 out of 5 stars
expected workhorse performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.unit runs about 19 hours a day. I have seen the audio and video lose sync after a bunch of hours. Powering the unit off and then back on re-establishes synch. There is also an issue of aspect varying. The same TV and powered antenna used on a previous convertor box experienced no aspect issues. The aspect issue does not happen randomly but when I shift stations sometimes. For the price and the hours it runs I am not unhappy.

Not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The digital TV converter I purchased works but only after I also had to purchase, separately, and have installed an outdoor antennae. It did not work with my indoor antennae.

Saved us loads of money
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Newer vizio TVs do not have a TV tuner built in like older versions had. This helped us bypass this problem so we could continue using antenna television. Has ability to be used with HDMI, composite, or cable! Also offers a guide for antenna tv.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up but the the box makes the tv shows seem dark. I thought it was the TV at first but when I used a different box on the same TV, the pictures were brighter.

Terrible waste of time and money
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since this DVR seemed to work every once in a while, I foolishly did not return it when I could still get a refund. It does not work most of the time. No matter how many times I re-insert a flash drive, I get the message "USB device has been removed." Even when I'm told it's connected it later says it has been removed. This is one of the worst products I have purchased in over 50 years. Other problems with this are too numerous to mention. I've already wasted hour after hour trying to make it work. No one should be allowed to sell anything this bad, even for $1. Don't consider buying this or any product from this manufacturer.

review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The converter works well. The mute button on the remote quit working already. This is the second converter box and remote I have purchased and the mute button on the remote on the 1st package quit working also. The 1st converter box worked for about 5 years.

Does the basic job. Some weirdness.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works OK. Quirky. Using the Recent Channel function does take you back to the last viewed channel, but... silent. You can set some favorite channels but for some reason channel 7 disappears each time. I bought because my TCL/Roku set-up isn't giving me Recent Channels functionality and as a way to quickly select the channel I want this is pretty good. But I'm glad I got it cheap.

Great replacement for cable DVR.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent Digital TV Converter Box. With this one you can watch one channel while you record another. Only downfall for me is that the time is formatted on 24 hours and I haven't found a way to change it to 12 hours. Worth the money.

Didn't need if have streaming services
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We returned this item because we have streaming services to watch network programs. So far have been able to find classic movies (1960 and before) either on streaming or YouTube. With that being said, it would be worth using with tv antenna.

Gets the job done!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an okay box for analog to digital tv reception but doesn’t respond as well as my last box and recording to a flash drive is more difficult. Overall not a bad box for the money and it was accessible when I needed a new box on short notice.

Excellent value
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works extremely well while paired with my projector. It gives many more channels than with just a built in tuner for a television. Worth very much more than the price point posted! Excellent addition to a cable cutter ideaology!

Saved an out dated TV!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great! Saved a large old style TV mounted on the wall. Use it while I am exercising on the tread mill so the miles go by more quickly.
