Review: Worth persevering - At this price point you might not expect too much of this product, but it's worth persevering with it. It arrived earlier than anticipated, and the queries I had were dealt with very fast, including one reply on a Sunday morning. Impressive, and for me, a company worth doing business with. As to the item - it's neatly packaged, and you get the device, a power supply, a remote control (with no batteries, so two AAA required from your own resources) a little IR receiver, a USB extender cable, and little gadget with a USB plug at one end and a socket for an SD card at the other, and a manual, of sorts. Pretty impressive for less than twenty quid! As a Freeview receiver, it really was a case of plug it in, turn it, let it find the channels, watch the TV. The channel ordering isn't immediately ideal, if you care, but can be fiddled with if desired. It doesn't respond to the remote very fast, or change channels/pop up the EPG (yes there is one) very quickly, but it's acceptable. Picture quality is ok too - not going to set the world on fire but perfectly watchable, and no issues wth lip sync or ghosting. No nasties. The strength of this unit though, and my reason for purchase, is the ability to record onto an external USB device, which is hard to find at this price point. As long as your USB device is formatted FAT32 it's fine, and if it is not and you are prepared to allow it to, the unit will format it for you. Recording can be done in three ways. You can just press "Rec" on the remote when watching a programme and it records. Or you can pull up the EPG, navigate to a programme somewhere in the next seven days, press Record and it "makes a booking" - yep, it records. You can also display your "bookings" and delete them if you make a mistake. Finally, if you are old school, or want some finer control, you can set up a timed recording on a set channel at whatever times you want, so you can add ten minutes or whatever if you think there might be an overrrun. The manual states that the unit will shut down after a couple of hours if you don't press the remote. I thought at first that meant it wouldn't record something in the middle of the night, but it worked fine. So, what do you get when you record? Simple enough - it creates a dated and sensibly, named after the channel folder on your USB device, and in there you get files. Easy eh? Not quite. By default it seems to produce files in .dvr format, which is used by lots of digital recorders. However, not all .dvr files are the same, and the manufacturer has some leeway in exactly how they are produced, including making them unplayable on any other device. At first I thought my plans to archive recordings to my PC had come unstuck here, especially as I had no software that would play or convert the files. A question to the supplier was answered swiftly and they recommended a bit of software called KM Player. However, I didn't go down that route as I found a better way. Tucked away in the settings, where incidentally you can alter such things as the aspect ratio, there is a recording setting which can be toggled from the default TS (transport stream) to PS (program stream), If you do that (and I understand there may be issues with ps stream, but they've not happened to any of my recordings yet) then you get files in mpeg2 format, named 000.mp2, 001.mp2 etc, and these can be played just fine. Your only final gotcha here is that the recording might be split into multiple sequential files, and you then either need to use some software to join them into one, or,as I do, use XBMC, which will "stack" files like this automatically and treat them as one recording for you. Other players may do that, too, I don't know. The end result when played back on a PC looks fine, and certainly better than it looks on the TV in the first place. Of course, if you are planning on recording from the unit and playing back directly on the unit too, none of that need worry you. Make a recording, play it back, no fiddling required. Job done. For me, this is a backup system. I have a Virgin+ box and most of our recording is done on that, but on the occasion we want to archive something it's a fiddle, as we have to send the output to a DVD recorder, then rip the DVD to the PC, then encode it...using this unit as a kind of of "backup" recorder for anything we know we want to archive that's on Freeview works well for us. So, for my money, a great little product from a good seller. It does what I want, and for the money, does it well. If it lasts a year and breaks, well what do you want for twenty quid? Recommended.
Review: Good product that works well. - I chose this item because of is spec and price, good value for money, It's easy to set up and gives a quality picture. As other reviewers have stated the manual is terrible, one of the worst that I have ever seen. It is however fairly intuitive and I think that I have sorted it out. The biggest disadvantage for me is the recording facility, Whilst it records well, in play back mode it is impossible to fast forward or reverse. If therefore there is only a part of a recording you wish to watch, you have to sit through the whole recording until you get to the part that you are interested in. Hence only 4 stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it supplied with a sd card**
A: The unit takes an SD card & a USB memory stick- you have to supply those yourself.Nice little gadget all round to enable digi channels on the old tv's.Don't attach it to a new model tv that already has digi channels - I did, & they clashed, it is definitely to be used for the advertised purpose.And I found the company really good to help with queries once I had bought it.Good luck!

**Q: Does this box have a signal booster?**
A: i do not know if this box has a signal booster i do not think so.

**Q: Can your unit be used on a plasma monitor. Does it tune analagoue channels**
A: The unit tunes to digital channels for the old style non digital tv's. I put mine in a digital tv & had problems with it, I think the two digital units clashed with one another. Then I put it in the old analogue tv and it works fine. That is the purpose it was designed for. The type of screen should not make any difference, but if you have a plasma tv, I guess that means it receives digital channels, and that may clash with the unit, like it did with my digital tv. I think you should check with the supplier. They are very nice & helped me a lot.

**Q: can I press record, then adjust the record time up to any amount of hours?
for example, 6-7 hrs. or is the max record-only time limited to 2 hrs ?**
A: I haven't used timer. I've got 64G stick so I just press record and it stops when programme ends.

I purchased this as the areial connection had broken inside my TV. I was able to connect this via the HDMI connection into the TV so saved me a fortune on a expensive repair. Set up very easy and excellent picture and interface.
