    The rewinding to watch TV programs is not well explained in the manual. I am having difficulties.

    Was ok. TV too old and only had 1 HDMI port, so I was unable to use my Roku remote at the same time as the box.

    Works good does what it suppose to do, once you get the right spot for your antenna it's great. con - it freezes sometimes if you input the wrong command or hit the buttons too fast it will reset.

    Excellent value with easy set up. Image is as crisp and clear as cable or satellite. Will require a little research as to which direction to point the antenna.

    A nice device when it's not locked up. No problem finding channels, and the included remote is nice too. However, it locks up at least once a week for no apparent reason. Only way I can unlock it is to unplug for 20 - 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
