Review on GT MEDIA GTC 4K Android TV Box: Free Satellite TV Receiver with WiFi, Bluetooth, and PVR Recording - The Ultimate Smart TV Box Solution by Eduardo Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great idea, poorly done

I was hoping this device would fulfill my desire for an OTA tuner, streaming and DLNA to watch my own movies from my home network. I wasn't really interested in the Free Satellite feature since I have directv. It looks well put together and the UI looks nice, but to be honest there's nothing good about it. It comes with almost zero instructions and what little it has doesn't seem to work as advertised. Apparently this is another fine piece of hardware from Asian developers who couldn't take the time to write a decent English user manual for the products and have therefore rendered them pretty much useless, at least for me. Damn shame when he pointed out it would do everything I wanted in a small package. . Again, I can't comment on Free Satellite as I haven't tried it. So back to the Revain Fire and Recast device, which is decent but shuts down completely if you lose internet. I can't even get an OTA during a storm, but that should be another review.

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Not sure
