292 customers mention130 positive162 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the signal converter. Some mention that it works good, is pleased with the results, and is accomplishing its intended purpose.

105 customers mention62 positive43 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the digital video recorder. Some mention that it mostly records reliably, has an excellent digital tuner, and records well from standby. However, others say that it's clunky to figure out how to do it, and that it won't record anything.

"...picture quality is superb both live and playback. great tuner, finds and shows more stations than the tv can and more than a fancy tablo does...." Read more

"...Included in the package, is a pair of AAA batteries, a rather stiff HDMI cable, (and unlike previous models) an A/C power supply that can be replaced..." Read more

99 customers mention49 positive50 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of setup. Some mention that the setup was very easy and intuitive, and the programming is not difficult. However, others say that the interface is basic, and not always intuitive. The few pages written do not give good instructions on its features or how to use this, and that the user interface is a little rough. The operating manual is really bad and takes some getting used to.

"...Except for playing files in the pvrlist, operation thru the menu is never difficult...." Read more

"...button is the same size, the buttons are tiny and they are not logically laid out...." Read more

"...So far, it's been working great. The setup was very easy and intuitive and it has been working perfect ever since. I leave it on 24 hours per day...." Read more

75 customers mention20 positive55 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the channel guide of the electronic signal converter. They say that it would not receive some channels, would not change channels, volume, or record. They also mention that the remote does not work properly and that it freezes on channel 40. Some customers also say that the box receives fewer channels with worse quality than a built-in tuner in their old TV. Customers also say the CC does not works on every channel while viewing and does not show at all during. Depending on where you live, it may not tune all your available channels.

"...-Depending where you live, it may not tune all your available channels!..." Read more

"...I have only two complaints with this unit. First, the channel selection is very slow. It could take up to 5 seconds to change stations...." Read more

"The good:- Tunes all the ota channels I was expecting.-..." Read more

"...That one stinks! Well the biggest issue was, it didn't receive my channel (MeTv), from the exact same antenna that others did...." Read more

58 customers mention15 positive43 negative

Customers have negative opinions about the buttons on the electronic signal converter. They say that the menus and remote buttons used are extremely convoluted, oddly-named, and not intuitively labeled. They also say that there are many buttons on remote, and some of them serve dual purposes. Some customers mention that it takes multiple pushes of buttons on a remote to work some times, and that most buttons don't work.

"...There are many buttons on the remote, and some of them serve dual purposes. For that reason, there may be several features, hiding among the buttons...." Read more

"...They are: located at the bottom of the remote, each button is the same size, the buttons are tiny and they are not logically laid out...." Read more

"...I can say the remote control is much more impressive than a competitor that I went through previously (two of the competition boxes)...." Read more

"...fixed that by buying a $11 remote extender 👍🏻. The controls on the remote are hopelessly laid out...." Read more

44 customers mention4 positive40 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the responsiveness of the electronic signal converter. They mention that the names of the functions make no sense, the remote can be slow to respond, and the menu and interface seem pretty slow to response. They also mention that fast forwarding didn't really work, and that the performance is not acceptable.

"...-Recording time is seriously limited unless you're a professional nerd. See above...." Read more

"...of box is really not super user friendly with the remote, or the slow 'boot' up, or the tv guide...." Read more

"...I did have problems fast forwarding through recordings if I went faster than 2X though...." Read more

"...the game ended I replayed it from the beginning, but fast forwarding didn't really work...." Read more

Better than a VCR for antenna reception.  But software?
5 Stars
Better than a VCR for antenna reception. But software?
Great as separate turner for antenna reception. Delighted to be able to record high quality picture.but, current date and year gets advanced to future date. why? Timer setting for when to record somehow sets to a future year. Why? info stored and retrieved after a power outage, perhaps. Still an unknown for me.
