not the best PVR system and slow
on February 2, 2020

I would not buy this product for a PVR system. No TV program guide. Very limited on how to record. Product is slow and remote has to be almost perfectly aligned to work. it would be nice if you could attacth a drive so you could record more than a few movies. It really needs a TV guide program drive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have an antenna i need to rotate to get channels around me. When i scan in one direction then rotate to add channels in other direction, unit erases all channels found in previous scan. Need a design that allows you to add channels to existing finds.

Unreliable and frustrating

I bought the TVTR149 yesterday and thought it had promise. Unfortunately it often doesn't recognize my brand-new name-brand 128BG USB drive that I purchased to use with this product. I set the timer to record a show this morning (verified the date, time, etc) but when I got home the USB drive was empty. I did a test run last night and it worked OK, although the recording had some odd "skips" in places. The quality of the image was really good so I was willing to overlook the couple of skips in the recording. The unit is slow to respond to the commands from the remote, and the manual doesn't address several of the buttons on the remote. The concept of the TVTR149 is great, but the execution is poor. I thought maybe there might be a software update to fix things, but I don't see any on the website. Unfortunately this will be returned to the store.

Awesome Product!

I bought this a few days ago as a replacement and the quality hasn’t disappointed. Coupled with a small electric antenna, both used on a used small tube tv, the reception, picture, and sound quality is beautifully and refreshingly much better! A very welcome surprise! Especially on an old tv! Thank you, GPX! You’re awesome!

Overall a good buy with one exception
on October 31, 2019

Overall a good unit with the exception of being unable (to the best of my knowledge) to set start/stop times for recording. If I am home to turn on/off the recorder, then there is no use for the recorder as I would simply watch the show. This seems like a simple software upgrade for the unit. The tuner aspect works very well and rating that alone would be 5-stars - the recording issue is a deal-breaker for that aspect.
I would recommend this to a friend!
