GPX® Digital TV Tuner and Recorder, TVTR149B in Black

Digital Tuner user in MN
We already had a Samsung TV for 2 years that we used as a computer monitor only. When we retired, we wanted to use it as a regular TV, but there was no coaxial plug. This product allowed us to use a rabbit-ears with the monitor's HDMI input.

Incredibly Capable, Extremely Lacking Instructions
The DVR instructions are completely lacking all critical information in order to use this as a DVR. Fortunately A.I. told me what I needed to get it functioning. Using your own USB thumb drive (none is provided), the unit will not see your media device unless you format it MBR (Master Boot Record) and FAT32 using your computer. There is no way to format your media with the device. Then you must have this media inserted BEFORE you plug in the power cord and power up the unit. As for the user interface, nothing is intuitive and only through using A.I. for instructions (or playing with it at great length) can you eventually get its recording functionality. See attached chart I found online for recording durations with various sized storage media. Picture quality is GREAT, and the TV tuner is better than either of my expensive smart TV’s. It picked up several more stations than my TV’s built in tuners did.

not great needs usb to update software included
Had this thing quite a while. First 2 years i kept losing signal. Losing channels never found out if it was the unit So I don't know what was wrong with it on the inside or if they kept switching channel numbers or whatever with the dTV switch over. After meeting in Tennis the last couple years, it decided to work really good. So maybe it was the number switching of the d TV channel numbers. Although I. Wish it had a USB software update included in the package that would have been nice. And an app to go on your phone. Maybe that was the problem a whole time. The software needed to be updated. Mine Plugs into the wall. There's no AC Adapter, it's that old. Your website has no sort of filmware. Or software update for these boxes. That would be a nice thing to include.

Great idea tv recorder and digital tuner in one!
I bought this about five days ago. My old one had quit. This one was so easy to set up and so quickly stored television stations even had more TV stored stations from this tuner than the other one I owned.

Just What I Needed!
I purchased this product in hopes that I could record Will Trent on ABC and Finding Your Roots on PBS .It's a 1st world problem but I hated that my two favorite shows air on Tuesdays.

Great addition to my projector setup
I purchased this unit to use as a replacement to a unit I’d bought just a couple months earlier online that had gone bad. This GPX unit was 30%less and has twice as many features as the unit I was replacing. So far I’m a very happy customer

Great product until it fails.
Unit stopped working after a week of usage. Now completely dead with no power light. This is the 2nd unit that failed like that. When the unit works, it works well.

Easy setup
This arrived yesterday. It is replacing an older version (different brand) of the same thing. It worked for many years. Hopefully this will last at least as long. All I had to do was hook up the HDMI, antana in and power cords. As soon as I turned it on it automatically started looking for channels. It found 67. I haven't tried to record anything yet, but it's so much like my old one I doubt it'll be an issue.
