    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.

    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.

    The receiver is inadequate resulting in pixels throughout the recorded film and the viewed program. My antenna is rated for 150 miles & works fine with the tv.

    It does the job for the money. It could definitely be more user friendly. I have had to unplug and reset a few times because it locks/freezes up for some reason. I will look for another option next time if they haven't made some improvements with a new model.

    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!

    Does ok as a converter box. Recorder not as easy. Seems to work great until it is something we really wanted to watch. Then playback is a little unpredictable. Watching playback of a football game was not smooth and it would crash if we tried to fast forward more than 2x thru commercials. The instruction manual is worthless.

    This unit easily connects to an HDMI port on my av receiver. It has a channel guide and I get Digital Dolby sound. Also makes it easier to switch from local TV to other sources.

    It recorded over-the-air TV shows, but the reception wasn't as good as it is without the unit, and, even worse, the user interface was so clumsy & clunky to use that it was too frustrating. The fast forward function didn't really work at all. I had to return it to the store.

    We have a smart tv but it had no connection for our coax antenna. This made all the difference in the world. Great signal and I had it installed in less than 5 minutes.
