The most terrifying remote control experience ever!

Pros: The time tracking seems to work, but I don't know yet if the weekly or daily tracking function works properly here. Good picture. Some nice features included. The Bad: The entire infrared remote control system is OUT! The remote usually repeats the same function you just used no matter what button you press. If you wait a few minutes, the next function will work correctly. After that, it's a bummer if it works properly for the next feature. This even happens with the remote control for my

Works well in media players

This is my third TV tuner. The first one I bought in 2015 was an Ematic and it lasted five years before the remote died. There is no way to get a replacement remote, once the remote breaks you will have to switch channels manually. I wasn't a fan of the 2015 device, the audio was constantly out of sync and it didn't record well. When he died in 2020 I replaced it with an OFX TV tuner. A big mistake, this tuner only lasted 3 months. So I reluctantly bought another Ematic tuner. This new tuner is

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • So far so good

I almost bought a new TV

February 2016 I bought a 65 inch Vizio TV and in March 2016 my friend turned on the TV to play the VEDIO game and broke the antenna connection on TV, fie! This is not covered by my warranty. We took it to a shop and welded it on but it still didn't work. We were told that the circuit board on the back of the TV needed replacing, with the part alone costing nearly $200. It's September 2016, the TV just sits there. So I sought help on YouTube, saw this video about this converter and ordered it…

Just unbelievable! blown away!

First of all I don't really like writing reviews because I don't have time, but if the product solves my problem and if I'm extremely impressed then don't. Don't mind leaving a review because I think it helps the manufacturer and they deserve it. This box is just amazing. I hooked up a 2TB Western Digital Passport Ultra for recording, and as for the antenna, I have a Homeworx antenna that I bought from Revain for about $6 (it's the famous blue antenna). With this setup I can record local…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Crumpled

Not as good as my Coramzi which wasn't good either

Great picture and sound. But the main reason I bought my first two digital tuners was to convert digital TV signals to analog so I could continue using my outdated tube TV. Back then, taping the show was a secondary function. But now I have a new HDTV with a built in digital tuner, so recording and playback is the main reason for using this external tuner. . You press "Record" to start and "Stop" to stop. Easy. But if you want to *schedule* the recording for later, that's a big problem. It…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

This is the second digital recording converter I have tried. It's very similar to the first one, but this one works better. I recently decided to cut cable and canceled my cable TV subscription. My TV is around 1996 which means as per government regulation I haven't had any channels without a converter for a long time. So I had an old RCA digital converter that I bought back when the law went into effect. It worked great, the channels seemed clear, the guide was easy to use, and the on-screen…

  • Robust Design
