Review: I purchased this mostly to watch shows in MP4 format downloaded over the Internet to a 2 TB hard drive. It works well for this purpose. I hooked it up to my old roof antenna. I'm 60 miles away from the transmit antenna and it received more channels then my previous HW-150 model would receive. Picture quality is excellent. I use the HDMI port to feed my TV set. Remote control seems to be more robust than the remote that came with the HW-150. Please note that this receiver is Compatible with ATSC 1 and 2 broadcasts and not for ATSC 3 NextGen. Installation was as simple as plugging in the antenna coax, HDMI cable and plugging it into a wall power outlet, installing 2 AAA batteries in the remote (batteries not included). It powers itself on, follow the manual and on screen prompts for configuration. It does have a built in LCD screen that displays a clock when turned off with the remote. I have not found a way to dim or turn off this display.. but I've only had it for a few hours. I purchased this in "used" condition. It came in the original box with a printed manual, HDMI cable, remote, and RCA phono jack cables for composite connection to the TV all in like new condition. You will need additional cables if you are going to use coax audio output to a audio amplifier, feeding an old TV with coax on NTSC RF 3 or 4, or component video.
Review: It works great, I got 23 channels even though I didn't raise the antenna but it's just near the window, very easy to use, once you install it it will show you the language selection and then it will automatically search for channels and the channel storage will end automatically, you just need two AAA batteries for the remote control, everything is great and the picture is clear and the sound is clear and the remote works quickly, I'm happy because I got my old TV back again and I'm drinking my coffee and watching TV as if I'm living in the eighties the good old days, thanks to this seller and the manufacturer, I'm very happy I recommend buying it immediately it's very cheap

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by W***T on 25 July 2025*

Bought this converter so I could use an old c. 1998 tube TV in place of a modern flat screen that died, and in most respects it is not as cheap and nasty as I expected. It uses the same antenna setup as the old TV and receives all the same stations as the old TV did - some with signal as low as 40% are a bit glitchy but completely watchable. One very distant station, that only came in about 20% of the time on the old TV doesn't come in at all with this converter but I can hardly fault it for that. Otherwise it's pretty solid. The case is metal, which is nice. It runs warm but there are vent slots so I don't expect it to overheat. The menu system is fairly intuitive if you've ever set up a digital TV before. I did have to consult the manual once to find the default password for the parental controls. I was pleasantly surprised to find the RF output can be switched between a pass-through of the antenna signal and a ch3/ch4 modulated down-converted signal so this can be used even with small TVs without AV inputs. It also has an HDMI output so it can be used as a second tuner on modern TVs or with monitors that have no tuner built in. It would be nice if it had an S-Video output since my TV doesn't have component inputs, but the composite output works okay and the picture is bright and clear. The weak point in all this is the remote. It's a lightweight, generic plastic remote and it's not universal meaning while it runs the converter box just fine, it can't be programmed to also control the TV. I need to keep the TV remote around to handle functions like power and input select. The converter has its own volume and mute functions but since I'm also using other devices on other inputs with this TV I need to use the TV volume and mute functions as well and it's really a bit more complicated than it needs to be. The other thing about the remote - and this is a bizarre coincidence that I can't really blame anyone for - is that it uses the same codes as an Android TV box I purchased in 2017 in Europe. So both devices respond in different ways as I press the buttons. Truly strange. I have had to cover the front of the Android box with black tape so the InfraRed remote signal is blocked. I use a bluetooth remote with it anyway. What are the odds of that? Weird weird. I like the LED channel display on the front of the converter. It reminds me of the old Zenith TV I had when I was a kid that always showed the channel number on a similar display. I haven't tried any of the PVR functions because I don't have a drive to hook up, but when I do I will update this review if there are any serious issues. All in all would I buy it again? Yes, yes I would.
