I wrote a nice long review.. and poof. UGH. OK.. Tuner works great! The DVR or rather a PVR saves to usb, and its in a format it can play on PC later. The antenna signal strength meter is very handy and the tuner is very good. How they sell this for 40 bucks is amazing. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. electronic program guide comes over the antenna, it doesnt connect to the internet. which ias a good thing to me. It transmits old analog to a older tv or HDMI using a computer monitor. it just works. The menu system is light, easy and to the point. But the antenna signal strength is the main this I like the best. Picture attached.

High quality tuner. The signal quality meter (press INFO button twice while watching a channel) helps determine the best antenna position for precise placement. Remote sensor works well. Unit is responsive. Takes a bit of time to power up (about a minute) but once it’s running it works well. Didn’t test the DVR functionality as I don’t need that. I noticed the power plug was a little difficult to plug in/out of an outlet, not sure why. Overall a good product and the price is a little high for what you get (~$40) but if the product lasts a year or more it’s well worth the cost.

I have had several permutations of this device over the last decade. All of them had both hardware and firmware short comings. This unit has none of the defects of the past. And it has a full sized remote that works at distance. Unlike the previous remotes that were so small they were like trying to type out a text message with a sand bag, this one is very easy to use and has direct buttons to USB play back. On previous units if a book event crossed a day change you could not book anything else for that day until the booked event had finished. if you tried to book a event earlier than another already booked event, even though they did not overlap, you would get a conflict message say they interfered. Requiring you to erase all and rebook them all sequentially by time. USB 3 portable hard drives could only be used until a certain number of booked events were deleted. Then in order to get the drive to function again you had to clean, re-partition, format ,and assign a mount point with Microsoft's diskpart utility. Usb play back would crash if you performed a goto or fast forward in full screen playback. If any or all of these aforementioned problems are familiar to you, consider this ATSC converter. All of these problems do not exist with this 2024 updated model. The only thing I find objectionable with the 2024 update is it records low level brightness video at too low a gamma setting. Since such scenes are rare I am happy to live with it. Just the remote would have probably hooked me on this device.

This little settop box is truly impressive. With the help of a 5G filter (sold separately), I was able to pull in 60+ crystal clear channels with only a modest little antenna. The UI is a little drab and basic but easy to navigate and understand. I had no trouble deleting the few channels I would never watch, and was able to group my most-watched channels into a Favorites list for faster, easier selection. I was also able to select any channels that are listed only by their call letters and change them to their more popular names, which is a nice touch. The remote is large enough to be held comfortably, and the buttons are well laid-out. Oddly, the channel up/down buttons are not labeled as such, but are logically positioned on the remote. Setting up a program to record seems to be a pretty straightforward process, though I haven't tried it yet. Be aware that the unit does not have its own internal hard drive, so you must supply an outboard one yourself. My only real quibble is with the front panel fluorescent display. It's way too bright and is not dimmable, which could be annoying to some users. For under $40, you can't go wrong with this great little tuner. I highly recommend it.

I got this to replace a failed TV tuner on my Smart TV. I does the job, and works. It's nice that it has a record TV function to USB drive. I suggest you get a flash based external SSD for best performance with it's own external power, but not required. TV guide layout is a bit bad. Instead of a horizontal left to right layout showing multiple channels per row like a normal guide, you get a vertical list layout and it only shows one channel at a time. The picture quality is bad, and the menu doesn't have much adjustment settings. It looked overly bright and washed out. I ended up replacing motherboard of TV to fix my tuner and I returned this product.

Sadly I cannot recommend this device. The price was great but it did not meet expectations. It was a bit wonky almost from the start. It would randomly shut down and reboot, not triggered by any activity from the remote. It would occasionally not record shows as programmed. The issues gradually got worse over time. At the end it only rarely responded to the remote and would not "recognize" the external drive for recording, then recognize it when I disconnected and plugged it back in, but then not recognize it when I tried to record. Customer service was nonexistent by phone. Emails went a couple weeks with no reply, although to be fair, that was in the weeks before Christmas. When I asked for a refund they said it was after 60 days, so they just sent me a new unit, but that was after I bought a different brand to replace it.
