Makes recording OTA very easy.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very happy with this product I purchased to record a station that our Network dropped this Spring (FOX) of course this is where I watch all my Nascar races on Sunday. I found Aluratek - Digital TV Converter Box with Digital Video Recorder - Black Model:ADTB01F at Best Buy and took it home hooked it up and I use a 1T hard drive to record the race as it is able to hold the entire race, I recorded today's race and played it back and the unit worked great. A few things you have to do is get used to how the remote works then it is very easy to navigate the screens. Very happy with my purchase.

Not worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are absolute junk. I've had two, both of which lasted less than six months. Don't waste your time.

Died after 2 months of use.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first one I bought quit working after about 8 months. It would not power up and showed no signs of life (indicator light dead). I bought another one in October 2021. In December 2021, it suddenly stopped working and shows no signs of life. Fortunately I bought an extended Best Buy warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. If you buy this product, make sure you cover yourself with a warranty. I hope the 3rd one lasts, but I seriously doubt it!

Not the best, but good little digital tuner
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This the second one I have owned. The first one lasted 4 1/2 years, which sad to say, is not bad by todays standards. Not a bad digital tuner for the price. I've never used the DVR function but the tuner works as expected.

Good Investment
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a small TV that I used to hook up cable boxes to. For as much as it's used - the cable boxes weren't worth it. The TV still has a picture tube which means I needed the convertor box. It's great. I get 40 channels, a program guide, I know what the show is about.

Great for TVs like Vizio lacking tuners

New is not always better
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not too happy but kept it for a back up! You see the pink start up screen more than anything. I was think the technology would have improved so I decided to upgrade to this from old RCA needless to say I hooked back up my old RCA.
