This is the second unit I have purchased the first on died after a year the second one died after only 6 months. No warranty information on the produce can be found on the website. Tried the email but like others no response. It did fit my needs but reliability of this product and support are the worst!
This is the second box I bought. This is an updated version of the old one I had. They last a long time. I get numerous channels on them with the box and my antenna. All I need to do is change the batteries in the channel remote.
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.
