    Works as intended. You will need an antenna additional to this device to find channels.

    Working for now but I got feeling it’s not going to last long. Also it doesn’t seem to pick a signal like the tuner built in the tv

    Your Geek technician Sean reorganized my Aluratek converter box so that ii worked properly. He was very efficient and explained the functions clearly. My only issue is that I cannot access closed captioning on this Aluratek, I know it is not the Tv. And likely has something to do with the new connecting jacks and the inability to use HDM1 Thank you

    It does the job. I’m giving it three stars because the previous one I had from Amazon for the last 2 years had better picture quality, but this one isn’t terrible.

    i'm trying to cut the spectrum cord and i use dvr alot. got this for that purpose, it works but the guide just lists the stations, not what is on. have to check on web for listings. also i can't dvr two shows at the same time. i can't dvr a show and watch something else, if so i haven't figured it out yet. can record shows once, daily or weekly so that's nice.
