Mine receives signals and sends them via HDMI or AV, which it does in my case, with one going to the projector and the other to the television. This is a great feature. As far as broadcast signals go, the picture quality is excellent. It's the recording that's the issue. When I press record, the perfectly tuned signal becomes choppy, which I assume is due to machine interference; however, when I stop recording, the signal returns to normal. I tried changing all relevant settings in the hopes of resolving the problem, but it didn't help.
An over-the-air television tuner was required. Before ordering the Ematic, I tried two others. This is sufficient to complete the task. According to some reviews, it does not record or playback well. I'm not aware of it because I'm not required to do so. I know that with this box and my long-range digital antenna, I was able to receive 74 digital channels. This is the box to get if you need a tuner.
It was simple to complete - Connect the A/V cables; pull the antennae from the TV and run it through this box; dig up another antennae cable to run from the box to the TV. The setup screen was simple and straightforward. During the scan, it discovered a number of "new" channels, and the improved clarity has me impressed. We used to get pixelized boxes on half of them, but now there are none. It's very nice (and unexpected) that it shows both the current and next show on the selected channel. I tried to bring up the channel guide but it wouldn't come up, but I'm not very good at reading instructions. The remote controls appear to require a couple of hard presses before responding. I am, however, content. We live in the middle of nowhere and have been without cable for years - This is a big step up from our crappy/rarely-watched television. (We have a digital antennae on the outside of the house. ) I haven't tried pausing or recording anything yet, but if they work, it'll be a nice bonus. The Favorites are something I intend to use.
First and foremost. It's a pain to use the remote. Because my husband suffers from MD, an easy-to-use remote is essential. But the buttons aren't working for me either. Second, we recorded our first show (a football game) and went back to retrieve it later, only to find that it had froze. Third, it isn't particularly selective when it comes to channel selection. Overall, it is a waste of money and should not be purchased.
On ff, the first two freez. 3rd one, flashing picture, playback freezes, ff, ☹️. During playback, the first two units had a problem with skipping. br>The third unit's screen flashed. br>In the first two units, I was unable to demonstrate a problem. br>The third will be returned with a clear error.
Returning an item that hasn't been replaced in over 2 weeks?.
No signal.
I returned this item because it was defective. Wouldn't be able to boot.
