Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to install. Worked as described. Thank youuu.

I bought this to turn a monitor into a tv. Antenna coax to box, HDMI from box to monitor, now it's a tv. Worked great. My monitor has internal speakers so easy convert to tv thanks to this box. As for dvr capabilities I don't know.

Have a 30 years old tv, this device made it easy to receive channels without a cable box.

If you require something that you don’t expect to last long, by all means buy one of these. The unit will consistently drop channels that were working and require a total Re-Tune. Ultimately, it will fail. I got one of these that eventually crashed and returned it to the store. I was forced to pay the HIGHER Price value of the unit even while under warranty. The replacement just crashed. Don’t buy this.

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!

Great find needed it because I cut the cord and my television didn’t have a place to plug external antenna. Easy plug and play.

Never worked bad purchase on my part, just another company ripping people off. Cannot get money back for time wasted and running across town several times to no avail. Just a loss of money and time. Don't make my mistake!

Worked great for a few months then suddenly it wouldn't power up. Bought another and it didn't last but a month.

GOOD RECEPTION, GOOD COLOR AND CONTRAST. AND EASY TO USE. I RECOMMEND IT. I HAVE IT INSTALLED IN A PROJECTOR AND THE CHANNELS ARE EXCELLENT.

Best Buy was the only store with this in stock. It was easy to set up and works perfectly.

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.

Very good product it did exactly what was advertised .Very easy to use I'm satisfied.

Very confusing to use. The time appears to be correct, but it records programs at a different time than set. The unit has locked up once with no response to either the remote or the on/off switch on the unit. I had to unplug it overnight before it would even start again. The manual is very confusing and doesn't match up with the controls. I'm just about to give up on it.

I bought it to watch the Super Bowl. After some old fashioned antenna placement got the picture in. Crystal clear better than cable. I haven’t used it much after since I don’t watch tv that much. It gets the job done.

It is great and I learned a lot from our magical tech electronics guy who recommended this. We went directly to streaming from cable without any issues. It was easy to install.

Biggest piece of garbage. The first one I bought lasted over a year. Not bad for the price I guess. I bought two more in June 2024 so I would have a spare when the next one died. Anticipating getting at least a year out of each one. It's now November 1st 2024 and both converter boxes have died. Unbelievable. Looking at the reviews of other brands, they all seem to have the exact same problems, voices out of sync with picture, then one day, nothing. I would have thought a company like Best Buy would sell a better product. Save your money.

Thanks to Vizio making the silly decision to not put a tuner in my TV, I had to get this. It works great and is reasonably priced.

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.

Easy to install and works well. The main problem I have is that the instruction booklet print is so small I will have to have someone help me set up the programming. Also the graphics have dark backgrounds and are unreadable.

On a fixed income. Got rid of cable and switched to antenna. This DVR box helps convert my channels to digital channels that I can record and watch later! Just get a USB for storage!
