    It was a great product, it just did not meet my exact needs. So unfortunately, I had to return the product.

    We bought this to put an order tv in the garage. Once I figured out how to get it programmed, it works great.

    The purchase price for this item was heavily discounted - as it should have been. The software is very buggy; audio and video tend to fall out of sync after changing channels, the recording function has failed at least twice, and the remote must be pointed precisely at the unit or the command may fail. A request to customer support asking if there was a software/firmware update for this unit went unanswered. Buy at your own risk.

    They keep burning out. I have to replace them about once every year. I've purchased at least 5 of them in the past five years.

    Bought this so I could watch football this season ('21-22) while working on restoring a house. It was only used Sundays from around 12pm to 5 or 6pm. Now, right at 3 months of single day a week use it has died. I am an electrician so nothing that would have possibly damaged it happened. Terrible,

    I purchased this to record TV shows. I am a senior citizen & tech challenged. I probably purchased the wrong item. But reading the description online, I thought it was the product that I needed for a reasonable price.

    It’s very basic but the price can’t be beat. Couple it with an antenna and you’ve got all of your major networks covered plus a sprinkle of other stuff too.

    This product is too difficult to install and operate. The owner's manual is inadequate. I have been tempted to return it but I decided to spend several more hours trying to get to second base with it.

    I was looking for a digital cable converter to put on another TV. This doesn't work with cable TV. This isn't what I was looking for. Will be taking it back to the store. I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a cable TV digital converter. Not sure what this is used for exactly.
