  1. ChristopherM

    This unit was easy to setup & it works great, highly recommended.

  2. RobertS

    Works exactly as expected and as described. Great purchase .

  3. rd1960

    Seems to be working good so far. I use it to record ota shows. I’ve had 2 or 3 of these convertors in another brand the past few years and they all had the same UI. All worked good just didn’t last a long time. Hopefully this one is more durable but either way is still a good inexpensive way to record if you have a usb storage device.

  4. Messssn3333

    Could not get working returned was not what sales person said

  5. PeterB

    Works as expected, no surprises. Digital OTA tuner w/HDMI out.

  6. PhillipL

    I bought this for the dvr function, it does exactly what I need other than it will not let you record and watch another, with the proper antenna it picks up around 25 channels in my area.

  7. DjWayne

    Start out fine but after six months it quit working this is my 4th one

  8. JenniferC

    It was easy to setup. Has worked perfectly since day one, but I haven’t tried the record feature yet.

  9. MichaelE

    Worked as described. Can’t complain. Good deal for the money.

  10. JohnB

    They keep burning out. I have to replace them about once every year. I’ve purchased at least 5 of them in the past five years.

  11. JoanneB

    although the instructions were /are a bit difficult; the unit decided to work inspite of the wrong buttons we were punching. all of a sudden it decided to auto search and find the channels and that was very smooth going. we are still trying to figure out what buttonss to push to delete saved shows, or rename them or even to navigate the various places to find thing’s. we are old and disabled and find it a bit difficult. but i hope we will be able to figure it out. perhaps if your instructions were written for a third grader we could find it easier to navigate.

  12. Best

    I installed this device tonight. Im a senior woman and had no problems doing it. Have alot to learn but it will be rewarding for sure. Took the Tablo back and got this.. Much better system and half the price.. Try it!!

    Doesn’t work! Geek squad member came to my home and tried to make it work. After several minutes, he told me to return the Aluratek Digital Converter and ask for a refund.

  14. RussellG

    Got this product after after we switched from Comcast. It is delayed during bad weather but is to be expected. But overall 4/5 stars.

  15. LouieA

    Overall good option for cord cutters. Worked well with my rooftop digital antenna. Can be a little temperamental at times.

  16. cleolee

    Setup and instillation instructions are somewhat confusing but can be managed via trial and error. Unit works fine initially, I can not talk about longevity.

  17. RogerM

    This was the easiest setup I have ever experienced with electronic devices. Everything was easy to understand and functional when completed. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

  18. TheresacM

    perfect for intended use…too bad I didn’t understand the intended use…Had to return it because it wasn’t what I thought it was.

  19. Waniac

    This was disappointing. The audio and video are out of sync. Also the picture is terrible. Returned this useless piece of junk.

  20. MartinN

    I bought this because I found it meats the need my family has for this type of device it would have been nice if there were more of these devices instead of only one model

  21. KneatKnit

    I love the product! It picks up more over-the-air channels than other converter boxes that I’ve used in the past.

  22. Staplespink

    The setup for the box was a quick and easy process.

  23. MichelD

    I only used this converter box it’ the best and it’ only at best buy worth every penny

  24. SamanthaB

    I love the ease of this digital recorder. I still have an old tv but now I can not only watch it, but I can record ( with a USB) it has an EPG so you know what’s on for a few hours in advance.

  25. FloraO

    It works great, much better value than other options out there

  26. CrisP

    Good product and easy to use, if i can do it anyone can.

  27. perfect

    works great! exactly as described! wasn’t sure it was going to work, a lot of fakes and lies out there!

  28. MelG

    Love this box, works very well, and i already bought another.

  29. SteveC

    I use this converter in conjunction with an antenna for my old back-up CRT tv. It has a surprising number of features. My big complaint is with the documentation. You need to use on screen menu keys in order to navigate around but my 14″ CRT tv has very poor resolution for this tiny print. The manual is of little help in using the full capacity of the converter. But this would be a good way to use that old TV you have while in the garage or shop.

  30. HallardA

    There’s not real attention to the overall construction of the product. Only good for the short amount of time it works..

  31. SMORED

    ALURATEK TO ME IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN A GOOD PRODUCT BRAND THAT HAS WORK FOR ME, AND THIS DIGITAL TV CONVERTER BOX IS WORKING JUST FINE ON MY OLD SONY TV THAT I PAID BIG BUCKS LONG AGO BUT WORK BEAUTIFUL AS A SPARE TV, ALURATEK DEVICE I’M HAPPY

  32. MirandaeR

    Perfect works great i would recommend it to anyone

  33. MaryC

    I love my 55″ Samsung smart tv. Great buy easy to operate. The remote was too little. So i purchase a bigger one from bestbuy. Affordable for everything

  34. Jaysooner

    Previous reviews accurately depict the adequate functionality with ease of use limitations.

  35. TboneMalone

    Made it a year then died for no reason. No power outage/surge, no physical damage, non smoker, no pets, no dust, nothing. Just dead.

  36. Vegetius

    Given the reception problems I have (low elevation of location, high surrounding bldgs, etc.) it does about as well as can be expected. Must adjust the location of the antenna for different stations, depending on the time of day and the wind direction. Still learning the remote, which lacks some features of the remote of the previous converter box. Don’t like the compulsory numbering of channels, which makes the actual channel numbers of TV stations irrelevant. Digital recorder of no use to me.

  37. Buckeyegal

    Simple to operate, dependable for recording from antenna.

  38. DexterR

    This product work great I can so many extra channels

  39. HowardL

    whole process was so easy and product available for pick up when I got there.

  40. MichaelH

    First one popped two days old. Replaced. This one is rebooting every minute Easter 5 months and beyond return period.

  41. NewEnglandShopper

    Once you figure out how to use it, it is easy to set up and record programs. The manual for the converter leaves much to be desired. However, there are several good videos on YouTube to get you started. I suggest looking at the videos before purchasing the converter to see if it is for you. In addition to the TV’s remote controller, you will now have to use the Aluratek controller which comes with the unit for watching your TV. The unit also requires the additional purchase of memory for recording. I am using a 128 GB USB 2 flash drive which appears to be adequate for my TV viewing and recording habits. I purchased both the unit and memory when they were on sale.

  42. AlfonsoR

    Very simplistic and a great purchase. Appreciated the service I received.

  43. Rondc

    Had issues getting larger files on a dvd. Put on a flash drive and played perfectly

  44. Yvonne

    We are very happy with the digital converter box by Aluratek. It does exactly what we had hoped it would do and the price is surprisingly affordable. Thank You to the customer service representative who helped us find this antenna recorder that fits our needs. We have been wanting something like this for several years. We can now record a game while watching another game on TV (using a HD antenna).

  45. ElaineC

    The device works as advertised. Records programs as needed. It does require a thumb drive or small HDD to store video. Great value for the job it does.

  46. JimL

    The remote is not responsive enough. The directions are unclear as to how to record using a flashdrive.

  47. JustinaA

    The TV I have doesn’t allow me to do certain things I want to do such as use my USB that I use for movies. I would have to use my XBOX and I hated doing that. I got this converter box and its perfect. I highly recommend.

  48. Therk305

    This product didn’t live up to the description it says it will record two shows but it would only do one and it’s picture would not fit the screen now matter what I did, so I returned it and bought a Tablo with 4 channels.

  49. VeronicaG

    Got this for my grandmother and she absolutely loves it

  50. JamesP

    Product arrived on quickly & in good shape. Stil working fine today.
