These devices have very short life spans. I’ve never had one last longer than a year. They work ok for the price. Pausing and resuming can be glitchy. At times it has a picture issue. Goes all pixelated or freezes. I usually just record a few shows. I’m on my fifth or sixth so far. The shortest one lasted was about a month, took it back and got a replacement. Just got a new one after a year or so. After this one fails, and it will, I’m going to get different kind of device. Keep in mind these are sold under different names. The interface is all the same.
This arrived yesterday. It is replacing an older version (different brand) of the same thing. It worked for many years. Hopefully this will last at least as long. All I had to do was hook up the HDMI, antana in and power cords. As soon as I turned it on it automatically started looking for channels. It found 67. I haven't tried to record anything yet, but it's so much like my old one I doubt it'll be an issue.
Worked great, tons of channels and was very easy to hookup. Instructions for using the features are very basic or not at all. Used it for 4 days and then completely died, had no power. Just returned for another one. Perhaps the first one was a defective one.
