Works pretty good as long as it lasts. It’s a bit glitchy. It usually doesn’t last more than six months to a year if you’re lucky. For that reason it’s pretty much garbage. I’m on set 4 or 5 in the last 3 years. My current one is dead at four days. Not kidding. Time to take back yet another one. C’mon GPX can’t you make a product that last? Jeez!!!
I need a TV tuner that lets be add channels at a different antenna direction, as well as being able to record and rewind/fast forward while watching, all of which this does well. I mostly use it as a simple tuner, I also record shows (like daily Jeopardy) to watch when I come in later. I do find it locking up and rebooting from time to time, and I bought one that failed after 11 days, but I had an earlier version for several years. I'd love to buy something a little higher end, similar to Tablo or even TiVo, but they all fail to do what I want which is to control the process at a low level. Instead they try to do for me things I don't want to do.
We just bought this machine and I was very happy to have such a easy installation. The directions were easy to understand so I had the Digital TV Tuner and Recorder working in five minutes.
Bought one for the sister in law and we liked it so much that we bought the 2nd one for her and 1 for our shelf. now to play around with it to get familiar with all it can do. the only thing is the instructions could be alittle better
