Good size

After years of searching for a digital tv converter box I found this one and it does what I need it to do and more! Smart move to include the USB mp3 and video playback option
I would recommend this to a friend!

The TVTR149b. is an excellent value...

Basically the unit serves as digital tuner for VHF/UHF Digital TV tuner and a kind of converter for adapting older TV's computer monitors as well as all types of CRT devices into tv's...included is an HDMI output and comes pre<loaded with codecs to record hours of programming onto a mass storage device.m
The only drawback is a small, rather crowded looking and not-to-user-friendly remote control. Please develop one that is longer and is easier to see

It is poor in design

The product is slow. It has really bad user interface.
Why not list the channels as they appear rather than numerically?
The remote is really slow to react. The 7 day guide is really just 24 hours. False advertising?
The manuals don't match the model number on the back. There is no recording instructions. 'Book' for record? really? Who was in the focus group?
Who wrote the manual or do the design of the UI?
IT could be a great product with a better design of the UI and more robust program guide instructions. A better remote that reacts faster and has better range. 4 feet is not a good range.

Amazing little TV tuner!

I originally bought this so I could watch live TV on my projector, but I love this so much that I even use it on my regular TVs, because the DVR feature and channel guide on this box is amazing. You can also schedule recordings, and you can pause live TV. Mine came with a free 128 GB flash drive, but maybe only because I payed a little extra at the store I bought this from. 10/10 recommend!

Too much trouble

Bought this last week & if I knew how much trouble it was I'd save my money. I lost stations especially the one I wanted to record & the instructions are worthless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

manual needs improvement
on February 17, 2020

It records. Setup was OK. The menus are hard to navigate because the manual is so basic. The device does more than the manual describes. That's good but the learning curve is steeper to figure out how to access these features. The remote must be very carefully aimed to work. Overall I like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome entry level recorder

Couldn't be happier when combining the price and the features. My unit didn't recognize my USB2 drives but my USB3 64gb works perfectly and my remote response time is not delayed at all as a previous post reported. Also being able to move the USB 3 and watch with all of my devices and TV's is terrific. I have never given a review on anything before but I just had to with this unit. The only suggestion I have is to improve the manual. However, this web site provided answers to most of my Qs. So Kudos on a great affordable product!
