    Trash product. This is the third I've purchased and they've all stopped working. Avoid like the plague.

    You will get average reception. The controls are a bit complicated and it seems like some of the settings do not work. Good for average reception.

    Junk

    Junk. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Mostly it doesn’t. Have to plug in the USB thumb drive to store recordings, remove thumb drive, plug it back in, remove it, repeat... repeat... repeat... and it might start to work, then again it might not, and it usually it doesn’t. Poorly designed. The manual is worthless. Whoever wrote the manual barely understands the English language. No thanks. Avoid this piece of junk.

    Works great. I had to watch a video to install, instruction book wasn’t easy for me to understand. We are very pleased with the device. Would recommend.

    Great Personal Digital Video Recorder

    Great Personal Digital Video Recorder that lets you record any programs that normally show on your TV (we have an antenna and no cable etc) and look at it later. There is a learning curve to learning how to manipulate things, but not difficult to learn.

    We didn't care for it - the menus are to complex and it's just too hard to use. We returned it.
