Digital Converter Box for TV, 2026 OWERSLYN 1080P ATSC Tuner Box with TV Tuner, Programs Recording & Playback, USB Media Player, HDMI/AV Output, 3RCA Cables, 2-in-1 Remote, Digital Channel Free

I have tried several digital converter boxes. This one showed me why I was not getting more than 13 channels. It worked great but had a signal problem with the roof antenna. I bought a new cable and connectors. I changed out 2 connectors before changing the cable and tried the box sudenly I had 53 chanels it was the rusty ,connectors not the cable or the converter box that I had thought was the problem This converter box is simple to set up making sure you turn it on with the red button after you change the hdmi to the one this box is plug into. For the price it is worth buying...but make sure you have a good antenna and good connections.

I have a smart TV that is digital only, no tuner on board so I'd been using another box to bring over the air digital broadcasts in. That thing died, so I bought this after a lot of looking and comparing. I hooked it up following the directions, and unlike some of the reviews for this I've read, I am quite pleased with the performance so far. The picture is excellent, and better than any other in the house for over the air reception. It's small, and the IR receiver is convenient to place where ever you want since you can put the actual receiver about anywhere as well. The on screen menu is easy and I really like how it tells me what the broadcast schedule is. I'd read that some have issues with setting the time, I just went to the timezone and set that, and it's worked flawlessly since. I have practically plugged it in and it works. I didn't mess with any firmware updates or anything, it's pulling in all the stations as well as or better than my other in house tuners do. I won't speak to any recording, as I don't and won't use that feature as all I wanted was the ability to get digital TV reception, and it does this flawlessly for me at least. The remote was easy to set up as well, although it did cause the soundbar to flip out a bit so you're going to want to test all that before you turn it loose on your system as I'm guessing the IR signals were the same as the soundbar save for different control signals that caused me to reset the soundbar. That's the only issue I had, and it was easily remediated with no further issues since. I went into another room to do the remote learning procedure after all that. I've had a few digital receivers for over the air reception, hands down this one so far has done better than all of them put together. Two thumbs up, we'll see how it holds up over time will be the test at this point.

I'm overall disappointed with these inexpensive digital converter boxes. I'm on my third one at this point. They last a couple of years, then they self destruct. The clicker buttons stop working, or the unit itself burns up. So, I decided to try this configuration instead of a set top box. I do instantly like that the tuner module is hidden behind the TV. I like the little display you can velcro to the front of the TV (although it's not useful for channel selection - the display is tiny). But, you don't need the little display because there is an on screen display that tells you what channel you are on. The clicker is decent, but is bound to take a dump as it's made as cheaply as the rest I've already trashed. But the price was decent, and it does what I need - offer me minimal FREE TV.

The picture quality is fine, and the electronic program guide is good. But there are so many problems. * The unit hangs every night, and the remote ceases to function. Unplug and plug it back in, it works fine. * Recording is very hit and miss. Sometimes only half a show is recorded, and multiple day recording seldom works. I think this might be related to the frequent program hangs. * When watching a recorded show, if you pause, forward or rewind, the subtitles come on. If you then turn them off, 30 seconds later they come back on. You are stuck unless you reboot and start from the beginning. * If you stop a recording, you can’t pick up where you left off - have to start over. * To record a show on the program guide, select it, press OK, set parameters, done. Great! However, pressing OK in other areas also starts recording the current show, telling you to press OK to cancel, which then starts another recording session. Unplug it, plug it back in to fix. * Hard disk specs are important. If your drive pulls more than 800 mA you need external power. Spent a week with their tech support trying to get a brand new USB powered 2 TB drive to work, but nope, pulls 1,000 mA. Had to swap in my old powered backup drive, which would connect correctly. * Setup of the drive through their menu system was confusing and inconsistent. I used to work in IT, but this was a real challenge. * Documentation was poor to non-existent. For example, didn’t tell me to record a show, you had to change a parameter from “view” to “record”. This after pressing OK to start a recording session. The return period has passed, but I’m going to give up. There are a lot of choices of devices for viewing and program guides, but I was after recording, and this one just isn’t worth the aggravation.

Was simple to setup and works great. My mom loves it.

Got this so I could use an older computer monitor as a tv. Instructions weren’t very good, but I got it installed and working fairly easily. Picture and reception are decent. Some of the onscreen features, like the program guide and favoriting channels, seem to be poorly implemented, but I have to play with them a little more to see if it’s me or really the product. Major issue is that if you use the audio output connection out of this box, the audio is delayed by a bit - everything you watch looks like it has been dubbed into a different language! Fortunately, I was able to change the way I had things hooked up and get the audio from the monitor instead of this box, and everything is ok. Bottom line is that it’s cheap, does the job, has some drawbacks. I’ll probably keep it and use it for a spare tv, but would get something else if it was going to be used as my main tv…

Very happy with this purchase of converter box. Five minute setup and lots of channels. I would recommend.

Had an issue with HDMI cable becoming unusable. The unit was outside the return refund limit. Contacted customer service, they were responsive, made an exception and agreed to replace the unit.

Molto semplice da installare e date le piccole dimensioni, facile da nascondere dietro la tv. Funziona benissimo

I have a computer monitor hooked up to this with a Philips LTE/5G filter and a cheap antenna. My monitor has 2 HDMI ports, so no splitter needed. Where I live in Eastern Ontario, I have 4 English channels and 3 in French/other languages. Maybe I'd find more channels if I upgraded my antenna, but I'm satisfied with what I have. Higher upfront cost for the total setup, but less expensive than buying a TV and paying for cable! Good product. 👍 Edit: You MUST have it set to Signal Type -> Air, and turn on Antenna Power. I had previously forgotten about turning on the antenna power and now I have more channels than I did before. 🙂 Edit 2: The remote was dropped accidentally, stopped working and a broken piece was heard inside. I was curious and took it apart. Very easy to fix! 😀 The rubber pad and board were loose. Take everything apart, clean carefully and put it back together to reset the contact between the conductive coated dots and the board. Voila! Our family loves this thing.

Es muy práctico y sencillo de instalar. Funciona muy bien.

Does not work in UK comes with only USA/Mexico tv options. Waste of a lot of money.

Great for our campervan, with the AV output function. Only gave it 4 stars because, on the listing it states the AV lead is included, but it wasn't in the box, so had to buy one separate.
