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

    After watching Robbie Strikes UTube instructions on installation the manual made sense and it was an ease to install. Works great on my antenna reception and records easily. I plays great HDMI picture. Aluratek needs to rewrite their manual because it is not usuer friendly to tech dummies like me. I recommend this product.

    Had to return it because it was basically as good as watching TV without it. Complex, very slow, inefficient.

    Good for receiving local channels if you are trying to cut the cable. I also had an HDTV and thought this product might extend the channels I would receive but it didn't.

    So I recently cut the cord, no more cable tv. I purchased the tv converter box so I can plug in my external hard drive to record tv programs. The box works perfectly.

    I bought this converter to replace another (different brand) that was starting to fail. I used my existing digital antenna and connected to our analog TV. It works great.

    I used this to eliminate the FIOS set-top box when connecting to my projector. Since projector doesn't have a tuner this served as the tuner, after little bit of back-and-forth I was able to set this up to pull in local channels, obviously no premium channels like ESPN, CNBC, CNN, etc.

    Very good price but you have to manually put in the names of all of the channels! We bought 2 units and they pull a lot of channels on both TVs but we find we lose some of the channels and have to run the channel search again and rename them all again!
