    Clunky to use. The DVR worked at first then it didn’t. Tried 2 new usb flash drives. Customer support said it sounded like a faulty USB port and return the device. Which i did. Why no one makes a OTA DVR with built in memory is beyond me. How much more would it cost? An extra $10? With all the cord cutters it only makes sense

    Not very user friendly. The program guide is hard to use, it's difficult to schedule a recording. It does what it claims to do, just not very agreeably.
