    Customers like the value of the tuner. They say it's totally acceptable for the price, a great way to save money on TV service, and a flexible machine for the cost. Customers also mention that the USB/multimedia playback feature is worth the cost, and the TV tuner alone is worth it.

    389 customers mention312 positive77 negative

    Customers like the picture quality of the tuner. They say it produces a beautiful crisp picture with absolutely no pixelization or audio dropouts. The box can even do 1080p (60Hz) which was a bit of an extra feature. The playback of HD shows is great, and the contrast is better. Customers also love the clarity of uncompressed digital broadcasts, and recordings are good quality.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the tuner. Some mention that the recording feature is a heaven sent, and it makes it super easy to record shows. However, others say that the signal capture is good, and the recorded programs are good. The product has a low power usage, and can record SD. However, some customers say that it stops recording at approximately the same time each time, and that the PVR corrupts recordings or reboots.

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the tuner. Some mention that it's very easy to set up program recordings with this device, the remote is very nice and easy to use, and the showings make it pretty easy to find and setup programs to record. However, others say that the operating instructions are a little thin, the user interface is primitive, and it''s not as easy to operate as a satellite DVR.

    "...Set up was pretty intuitive, which is a good thing since the instruction booklet was sub par...." Read more

    "...I was able to get the menu program to come up, but no channels...." Read more

    Customers are dissatisfied with the remote control of the TV. They mention that it is a tragedy of stupid design, it's not universal, and frustrating to use. Some say that the remote controls are not interchangeable. Overall, customers are disappointed with the design and functionality of the remote.

    "...It was so frustrating to use the remote, that I would have been ticked off every time I had to touch it!..." Read more

    130 customers mention28 positive102 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the time settings of the TV. They mention that the time shown isn't consistent, there is no setting of timed recordings from a guide, and the dvr loses the timed event for an unknown reason. They also say that the clock can only be displayed in 24 hours, the time zone settings were off or incorrect, and that the device does not recognize Daylight Savings Time.

    "...It does not recognize Daylight Savings Time, so tell it you live in Canada and use Atlantic Time if you live in the Eastern US...." Read more

    "...can manage to get past the EPG booking problems, and the missing timed record button, the recordings are great...." Read more

    "...My only minor complaint is that the clock can only be displayed in 24 hr...." Read more

    "...Yet another issue: A timer recording recorded correctly, and plays...." Read more

    Easy install, great picture, User Interface and Remote clunky.  Overall recommend!
    5 Stars
    Easy install, great picture, User Interface and Remote clunky. Overall recommend!
    Overall happy so far...functionality, features, setup. Recommending this product given the low cost. I'm a big "cut the cord' proponent and for the past 2 years have missed not having a device recording features given of national news or a late-night show. HULU can only do so much and with commercials! Now I have the ability to watch when I want and fast forward through commercials. Installed with 10 minutes and was quickly able to set a few recorded shows (daily, weekly, or future one time).Installation: You will need HDMI cable for going to TV, a cable "splitter", few Coax cables, 2 AA remote batteries, and a USB external recording device (had an old spare 2.5" 480GB). I have a new Samsung TV and really like the remote/ UI that came with it. My installation choice gives me both options (1) ability to keep my current OTA coax input to control with my TV channels, and (2) when I want to watch a recorded show, I just change the TV INPUT to another HDMI, and use the separate remote for the recorded shows. Benefit is also can record one show and watch live another! The key is to have the coax splitter, for one input to now two (going to TV and other to the Mediasonic).Pros: Flexibility on outputs. HDMI, and RGY to TV. Picture looks great (1080i)! You have many options to down step from 1080/720/480 if you need. Has Coax input and output (if you want this). Warranty of 2 years! Make sure you check other devices warranty you are considering. Of note, the paperwork that came with the unit says only 1 year, but Amazon listing shows 2 years manufacturer warranty.Cons: User Interface/ Remote. As others have said, the User Interface and remote is average to poor. It's functional. get the job down. Just lacking the new elegant user interface of today's main TV remotes.Good luck in your choice! Enjoy the OTA life..Save $$$. Beating cable guys, wand now watch when you want and fast forward through those commercials!!!
