    This unit works great for recording from an outside antenna. The only con would be for the instruction manual, it is not very plain in telling how to operate the dvr.

    Worked great. Tried a few off of Amazon and they stopped working a few days or weeks in. Like to buy locally in case it needs returned.

    I thought I was purchasing the easy to use dvr but it did not connect with the service I had nor would it function to record manually. If anything it operated more as a block on the system.

    Love the ability of getting free channels and using this box with an older flat screen TV makes it possible to change channels and have a remote for complete control.

    Don't think of this product as something you own. Think of it as something you rent for $7 per month. The Best Buy service desk will take it back as electronic waste when it ceases to even turn on. But you'll still be out the $7 per month while it worked.
