I bought 2 TVTR149B digital tv Tuner & Recorders for my home using one on the upstairs tv the other used on lower level tv. My daughter just loves the convenience and ease she has in the operation of this device. THANK YOU KINDLY
Have bought a 15 year old plasma Panasonic tv. Must have come out before digital tuners. I was using a zenith digital box which is fine but it is made before he so when I switched the picture went way up to 1080p and really made this tv look great
I bought this box about a week ago. The first thing I noticed were the two AAA batteries that were included for the remote were dead. After fresh batteries, the remote worked as it should. It would be nice if the instruction manual was alittle more complete. It does not show how long you can record on different size thumb drives or if you can adjust the recording speed. With experimenting I found that it uses about 1 Gb of memory for every hour of recording at the factory reset speed. I must say the video quality is very good. Overall I am pleased with this recorder and would buy it again.
Just bought it. Took some time to find one, This is my 3rd signal converter, for the same old TV. Hooked it up, it scanned for channels and Shazam, Works Like A Champ. This is a very old TV and user. I'm not sure if I can figure out how to record shows, but when I do that'll be something none of my past boxes did. Great Box, Great Price.
I've tested this as a tuner for a digital pc monitor with hdmi input, and "no signal"! When attached using AV cables it worked on a roku smart TV, fine. However, THAT device never needs a separate tuner, so it's superfluous. The Roku TV also says 'no signal' when attached to this GPX tuner using an HDMI cable. We tried a couple different HDMI cables which work well when used to connect the monitor above to a computer. Monitors work- check, Cables good - check. HDMI output on the device seems to be the culprit here. Their tech support phones in to DPIINC which was great, short wait times, understanding my issue, etc. But, when they contacted GPX customer support after vetting my call. They got nothing but an answering machine...
I bought this product when the tuner in my tv stopped working properly. It's working great so far and I love the recording feature, plus it's priced right!
