I was looking for something inexpensive that would allow me watch over-the-air HDTV. I have an older 32" HDTV that does not have ATSC tuner (many of the early models came with NTSC tuner). I have been using the HomeWorx HW-150PVR for a few weeks now. The tuner seems as stable or better than the TV's internal tuner. I like the fact that it has a signal strength function in the "info" button for the current channels that my 42" LCD Westinghouse doesn't have.
The layout of the remote is not optimal but I will get used to the button layout eventually.
HOMEWORX HW 150PVR ATSC DIGITAL TV CONVERTER BOX REVIEW 1080P
It turned on and off, records in full 1080p using about 6 GB per hour of recording time. I read many posts about the PVR/DVR function and ended up using a 100 GB 2.5" PATA hard drive with a USB case through a powered USB hub so that the box doesn't have to supply power to run the external hard drive. This hooked up easily and has a loop through setting for the antenna eliminating my need for a splitter for my RCA antenna.
So I bought one with a remote, HDMI cable. I found this one with fairly good reviews and it was rated as a good value. I searched for DVRs for TV channels broadcast over the air OTA. This Box is NOT a replacement of a cable company's box.Postage to: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Denmark, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Estonia, Australia, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Slovenia, Japan, Sweden, Korea, South, Taiwan, South Africa, Thailand, Belgium, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Bahamas, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Croatia, Republic of, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos Islands, Barbados, Bangladesh, Bermuda, Brunei Darussalam, Bolivia, Ecuador, Egypt, French Guiana, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Guadeloupe, Iceland, Jersey, Jordan, Cambodia, Cayman Islands, Liechtenstein, Sri Lanka, Luxembourg, Monaco, Macau, Martinique, Maldives, Nicaragua, Oman, Peru, Pakistan, Paraguay, Reunion, Vietnam, Uruguay In general, this product does NOT work with encryped cable signal.
