Had this thing quite a while. First 2 years i kept losing signal. Losing channels never found out if it was the unit So I don't know what was wrong with it on the inside or if they kept switching channel numbers or whatever with the dTV switch over. After meeting in Tennis the last couple years, it decided to work really good. So maybe it was the number switching of the d TV channel numbers. Although I. Wish it had a USB software update included in the package that would have been nice. And an app to go on your phone. Maybe that was the problem a whole time. The software needed to be updated. Mine Plugs into the wall. There's no AC Adapter, it's that old. Your website has no sort of filmware. Or software update for these boxes. That would be a nice thing to include.
For over the air programs, we are able to record daily two shows that are broadcast at times when we can’t watch them but now CAN watch them when we want to watch them. This is a great buy! There are some features that aren’t indicated in the user manual but was easy to figure out…… a sleep timer for this recorder. I have been looking for something like this for several years and stumbled across this! I bought a second one today for a Xmas present for my son-in-law! Now HE can watch “recorded” football games that his sleep schedule won’t allow him to watch completely!!
Worked for 1 month then died. From reading other reviews that appears to be a common occurrence. When it did work it worked well enough, but the remote and user interface is poorly made.
I bought this TV Tuner because my tv service does do not cover the new station CHSN which covers the Chicago Bulls, White Sox and Black Hawks but they can be viewed on the free HD-Digital tv channels. So far so good except the newly formed CHSN that they are featured on has 2 channels, the main channel 62.2 and 62.3 the backup channel. The main station uses MPEG5 and the backup channel does not. This box does not support MPEG5. This is ok until the game i want to watch is on the main channel. Looking to see if they will offer a software upgrade to support MPEG5.
