    I bought this simply because it was the best device for recording shows airing on local TV stations. It has worked well, although sometimes the recordings aren't as sharp as I would expect.

    This will only work with over the air channels. Tried to use to record cable coax signal split through our building and it does not function. I'm sure it works great for OTA
