    I gave it only 4 out of 5 stars. This is the second DVR that we purchased. Now this one is not letting us delete recordings.

    Gift it for dvr function. Dvr works great and easy to use and set up. 4 stars instead of 5 because it loses pairing every once in a while.

    Everything works well. I can tell the video quality is not the highest standard but understand that may be necessary. Also have times when the feed pauses, but may be my network. Overall works well.

    This technology is still fairly new so I'm willing to work with it. This combination OTA tuner and DVR works decently but has a few bugs. Recordings are easy to set, hard to get rid of. Ditto for recording a series. This is important because the hard drive will fill up! Rebooting the system is required to erase recordings and then it sometimes only works from iPhone, not remote. Am checking "would" recommend to a friend with the caveat that you also must be willing to work a bit with it and don't expect it to work as well as a cable or satellite DVR.
