Converter box that Rocks

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

This converter box rocks like no other! I am getting so many stations and they are crystal clear, full HD and more. I am so satisfied with my purchase and with Mediasonic, I accidentally put my remote in a return antenna box and the store couldn't find it, but Mediasonic showed true customer service and sent me another one free of charge. If you want stations and you them in HD, this is the converter box you want to have, it rocks!

Not Perfect but Amazing Value (Tech Details)

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this primarily as a DVR to record the local team's football games off-air.

For this review, please bear in mind that one reason this unit is so cheap is because the Quality Assurance effort applied to its manufacture minimal. You can expect a wide variance in product quality. This review is about my unit in particular. Yours WILL be different, or dead on arrival.

I initially tested this with a 47" Visio flat screen TV. I was not initially impressed. There was some jitter evident in the image if one looked very closely. The first test recording "seemed" to have an audio issue. Otherwise, this is a fine product of Chinese engineering. The screens were in good English, by the way. The documentation, not so much.

The first thing about making recordings with this unit is that you MUST be getting a picture without dropouts in it (scrambling of the picture and/or audio glitches). If not, you can forget getting useful recordings with the unit. It's not a flaw in the unit, it's the technical reality. I can only get a "perfect" image on a few of the channels where I live. This is disappointing, but not the unit's fault.

The most pronounced problem with my first test recording (which was NOT made with a perfect single). Had wildly fluctuating audio. This WAS a problem with the unit, and is disappointing, but read on.

Next, I turned off the unit, removed the USB drive I was recording to, and plugged it into my new laptop. Here, I found the following about Video Recordings, which are placed in a subdirectory named "HBPVR":

File type: .mts plus .mts.meta
CODEC: MP2 Uncompressed

Yup, this unit provides a PERFECT recording. What comes in goes out. If you're getting a good signal, you get a recording with all the original image fidelity. It looks _amazing_ on my laptop which has a 4K screen.

Now back to the problems I mentioned at the start. The video jitter is _not_ present when I play back the recordings on a computer. And, the audio dropouts are not present either. Unfortunately, there are STILL audio dropouts during playback _on the unit_ even when there is an excellent signal. Further investigation showed the problem is with audio processing in the HDMI interface section of the design. I can live with it, so I will keep it. As mentioned at the top, you may not have this problem (it may be specific to my unit) or, you may have a different fun problem.

Other than that, it seems to be a great little unit. And I do mean little. It looks much bigger on the Amazon site. The remote range and position sensitivity is not as bad as I feared from reading reviews. It comes packed in a tiny cardboard box with a carrying handle. Save it so you can carry it around if you ever need to!

Don't bother if you actually want to watch TV

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I had one of these from a different vendor [although they all look like they came out of the same factory] a year or two ago, and it did the same thing this one did: Constantly locks up, freezes, and/or reboots. This one [and the earlier one] lock up while they're running, and if I'm lucky, reboot.

Worse, every other time I try to turn it on, the LED [which stupidly is bright red for OFF and dim green for ON] goes from red to instead black [which apparently means LOCKED UP], and I have to unplug the unit, wait a sec, and plug it back in. How annoying.

Finally, even when it does run, after running for a day or so, it accumulates delay between audio and video, leaving the two out of sync by about 1/4 sec. How also annoying.

I rarely return items to Amazon, but this piece of junk is going back.

It's cheap and it works

I stopped paying for cable TV as soon as I had an affordable alternative for high speed internet. Nothing fancy with this. I plugged it in. I connected an antenna to it. Let it auto tune and I have had no issues. I will be able to watch local and national broadcast sports again.

works well once you figure it out.

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

It worked well, once I figured out how to get it to scan local stations. Would be 5 of 5 if not for an odd glitch, you have to do a factory reset on the settings between each scan for stations. So of you have to adjust your anttena or if you plan on using it for a mobile application like in an RV, then you have to factory reset it, and do a new scan. The wall outlet only supplies 5 volts, so I was able to use a USB cable and splice the connection to make it run off of USB power. I plugged that into the USB out on a monitor with speakers to power the digital tunner. I then used an anttena that is also USB powered and ran that off the USB port on the front that is used for data storage. So it all ends up running off of 1 power cable for the monitor.

A great, low cost digital tuner!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

2/19/21
I bought my first Homeworx tuner about 7 years ago. It worked "flawlessly" (for such a low cost unit, I do not expect perfection). Last weekend a power outage finally took it out. The new one is a lot smaller because they replaced the built-in power supply with a wall wart.

While I'm happy with the new one (only $19!), I actually liked the larger one better for these reasons:

1. It's easier to use a standard 2-prong cord than a wall wart power supply (cords fit better on plug strips)

2. The larger box stayed put on the shelf better because it's wider and a bit heavier.

The cord on the new wall wart power supply is shorter than the old power cord so I had to use a short extension cord too reach my plug strip.

My new tuner does not have the DVR capability. The old one did, but I never used that feature so i saved $10 without it.

You can see how they got the price under $20...external power supply and no DVR feature (which is just a firmware mod).

I should mention that I live close to a metropolitan area and have line of sight to a big TV transmitter so I get about 35 stations with excellent quality.

I thought about dropping this to 4 stars because of the change to the external power supply. But... it's a great tuner for less than $20! How can I complain?

Used to go from over the air coax from antenna to HDMI to tv. Worked perfectly. Only drawback is now I need 2 remotes vs 1.
