A bargain for a converter box that records!
Pros: Sensitive tuner with strong reception; Bright digital display; HDMI output jack; USB jack on front of the box allows you to connect a USB drive (or hard drive) to the box and play any movies, video and audio on the stick to your TV set; AND allows you to program and record TV shows like a VCR and DVD recorder, but you can connect a hard drive or USB Drive and it records to that, so you can watch you TV shows on a tablet or computer for later use. USB
Cons: Confusing channel numbering; firmware not perfect, but much better after firmware was updated in mid-August.
Overall Review: The fact that this box can record to a hard drive or USB Drive is a rarity in the market, and overall it's a great bargain.
Aluratek Libre is great
Pros: Easy to read non reflective LCD screen; Can use up to a 32GB SD card; wide variety of file formats; Books can be bought from many websites; Decent battery life; Easy to use; Compact enough to fit in a coat pocket; Aluratek support is good.
Cons: None
