I purchased this a few weeks ago. It does have the ability to record based on a time schedule ( I am currently recording to a USB flash drive that I have plugged into the front of the device). The remote is a bit laggy between the time the user presses a button and when the button response actually occurs. It has coaxial and HDMI out.. My current setup is a 1 to 2 splitter and I use my tv's primary tuner to watch tv (the tv has a faster response time) and on the second part of the splitter, I have attached the coaxial to this device to record shows that I am unable to watch. The recording feature works great (there is a slight learning curve for the recording setup and general settings--so don't expect to purchase it before your favorite show and be ready to record and walk away). This device is totally worth it!
While the unit is a bit buggy, it does do what it claims to do. The remote sucks and is mushy, and it can be slow to respond. However, all of the video outputs are active at the same time, so it's nice if you want to attach multiple TVs to it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Think of this as a VCR on steroids. The device is simple, but works perfectly, and the ATSC 1.0 tuner appears to be pretty sensitive too. It received all but one of my local stations with a rather poor indoor antenna, and the 'missing' one was in fine with a good external antenna, so everything I could want and more.
I appreciated the many interconnect ports -- everything from RF feedthrough to HDMI and baseband video -- anything your monitor or TV needs is likely here, and it 'just works'.
I didn't actually need to read the user manual to set this up, but if you've never done anything like this before, the instructions are well done, and actually written in English! The process itself was simple: plug it in, connect an antenna, hook it to the TV, scan for local stations, insert the USB stick and watch/record TV as you want.
