I bought this converter for my Uncle's TV and he now receives all the major TV network channels as well as many PBS stations and specialty stations. Couldn't ask for better reception!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredibly Capable, Extremely Lacking Instructions

The DVR instructions are completely lacking all critical information in order to use this as a DVR. Fortunately A.I. told me what I needed to get it functioning. Using your own USB thumb drive (none is provided), the unit will not see your media device unless you format it MBR (Master Boot Record) and FAT32 using your computer. There is no way to format your media with the device. Then you must have this media inserted BEFORE you plug in the power cord and power up the unit. As for the user interface, nothing is intuitive and only through using A.I. for instructions (or playing with it at great length) can you eventually get its recording functionality. See attached chart I found online for recording durations with various sized storage media. Picture quality is GREAT, and the TV tuner is better than either of my expensive smart TV’s. It picked up several more stations than my TV’s built in tuners did.

Easy to Use - Good Tuner

This DVR is simple to set up. Reception on the tuner is very good. I don't detect significant insertion loss when I watch broadcast TV passed through this DVR. It takes about 2GB to store an hour of content. There's no option for compressed recording. It's light of features but easy to use.

This is the second time that I have purchased this product. The first device still works fine and has proven quite durable. The product still remains very reasonably priced.

User interface needs work

Seems to do the job, but I found it not very intuitive. Got this to record ABC shows while YouTube TV and Disney fight it out. Manual could be improved and the print is very small. Does the job though, and didn’t cost too much
