    Recording option is not dependable. Sound and picture don’t correlate. Since I stopped using it, I’ll probably return it.

    Defective Guide

    The guide times did not have A.M or P.M. so setting up a recording event was impossible. I’m not sure if it was defective or what but for the price I decided to return it. There are other similar products on the market with a proper guide for much less.

    I was looking for an inexpensive tuner for a 55" display (not TV), and came across this one. It works perfectly and now I have another large screen TV

    I was looking for cheap, and I got cheap & nasty. Does almost nothing I'd come to expect from a DVR; no directory, no ability to freeze a show while it's being recorded, records only one show at a time. It went back within days.

    WHEN it recognizes the USB flash drive it works. But if you cannot live without whatever it is you’re trying to record, do not buy this device.

    Didn't work, Even with a Boost

    The Aluratek Digital TV Converter Box with Personal Video Recorder was a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT. I purchased this product to view and record a once in a lifetime event. Connected an antenna and HDMI cord to a compatible monitor. It took forever to get it to get a picture. When a picture did appear, it was very choppy and distorted even with an Booster.
