    I’m weird and like to collect VHS tapes and decided to record some of my favorite TV shows onto them. My VCR was made in 1989 so obviously it wouldn’t have a digital tuner (and it’s a VCR so it won’t regardless of when it was made). I bought this, connected my antenna to the box, the box to my VCR, my VCR to my TV, plugged everything in and it all went very smoothly. Channel scanning went quick, setup was very simple (I went with 480i because I’m just recording my favorite shows onto VHS with it). Everything is running so smoothly and I have no complaints at all!

    So slow to react or respond to remote that we returned it. I don't have the patience. Too many other choices that are working the way they should to waste time with this one.
