What customers say
This digital converter box earns strong praise for its exceptional value, particularly the highly desired Personal Video Recorder function for recording free broadcasts. Setup is generally easy, and signal conversion is successful, making it a great budget solution. However, satisfaction is tempered by significant concerns regarding long term reliability. Many users report units failing or becoming unresponsive after several months. Additionally, the interface for scheduling recordings is often described as clunky and nonintuitive. While the feature set for the price is outstanding, buyers should anticipate potential hardware longevity issues and a less than premium user experience.
