Ive been trying to consolidate my expenses, cable being one of them. Guess I should have done that first and saved myself the headache and wasted time. I researched to brand and found videos of other people having a difficult time making the product work. If the product actually does work they need to completely redo the instruction booklet. To top it off there is very poor and confusing language in the instruction booklet. The were no definitive step by step diagrams and instruction to operate each available option, its as if they figured you knew what you were doing. This product is very unintuitive and I could not get any channels to play after letting it search for channels. This is the slickest little item Ive run into in quite a while, and its a shockingly good value! You gotta getcha one! You might have to do something not typical for an American male: read the instructions! (I didnt an havent.) I may just get a second of these just to keep as a spare. It accepts flash drives or hard drives up to 3TB! Thats enough to binge watch for thousands of hours! Its menuing system is a bit non-obvious, but just takes a bit of getting used to. It records real time or scheduled in advance. It records to, or plays from memory devices plugged into its USB port. It displays or does a slide show of digital images in almost all image formats (ie, jpg, gif, …). See any care plans, options and policies that may be associated with this product.īeing a digital converter box, while true, is the least of what this little jewel is or does! Its a digital video recorder! A DVR for a song! It also plays almost all computer/internet video formats (ie, mpg, avi, mp4,…). The number pad on the remote is not setup like a other remotes like a calculator keypad.Īuto tuning (tune all digital broadcasts) As with other devices, the acronym PVR (personal video recorder) is odd. I could not find a way to stop a scheduled recording. The INFO key is nice but it takes up too much room on the screen for amount displayed. As a converter box it works fine, if that is all you want. English in the manual needs to be improved. How do you record more than one show if it turns off? User manual, in print or online, is a bare minimum and some of terms used are confusing. ![]() The converter box shuts down after a timed recording. I had to try various SD cards to find out the min was a Class 10 speed. User manual does not indicate what USB flash drive recording speed is minimal. I may pass it on to someone who lives closer to the transmitters.Ĭompact device and easy to set up TV channels. ![]() I am not happy with it but plan to keep it since it was only 20 bucks. I moved my antenna around and scanned for channels five times and still only picked up 10. The 10 channels it does pick up looked great and it has quite a few features that the old boxes do not have, however 10 channels is not good enough. You could do this with my previous boxes. You cannot use the remote to try to select channels not picked up during the scan. ![]() This new one picks up only 10 during the channel scan. My previous one still works but I bought this when I discovered that they now record. I live 60 miles from the transmitters and this is my third converter box since the changeover. When you change channels it does not go directly to it there is a hesitation which is alittle annoying. The remote control is colorful which helps with finding the right functions. We are able to get 90% of our local channels without having to move the antenna. The set up was pretty easy and the channels scanned quickly. It is very small and has a short cord so placing it next to the TV is tricky.
