Happy with this unit
Bought this for the RSSI meter and was surprised by how well the unit worked. The PVR is a little lethargic but it gets the job done. The remote is a bit cheezy but no problems as of now. It has some nice hidden features that i wasn't expecting based on what I read. The unit has a 5vdc output on an F-connector to power an antenna booster and the 2nd F-connector can be used to provide another raw output to a 2nd TV. So this unit will drive an antenna HDTV antenna booster and provide two antenna outputs for TV#1 and TV#2. Read full review...

Slow and Cranky while it boots, but good info once it does.
Cons: Every time I turn on the product I get a blank screen, and a "no signal" message displays - no audio, no video, just a blank screen. It requires resetting the display / monitor each time it is used. Also, slow to boot. Also, no batteries with the unit, had to buy separately.
Pros: I like the display, much more information than our previous converter box used to give us, once it finally does boot up and display. Remote works well for now, we'll see how long that lasts...

Stay Clear of This Ematic AT103C!!
Beware of this unit! It isn't the seller's fault but these units are really cheap and don't last for very long. I purchased 2 of them in June of 2022 and the first one quit on me in late August and the 2nd one just went out on me today Sept 6, 2022. I'm not happy at all because I used 1 for the kids room and 1 for the adults to watch/record different programs and now we can't watch anything. So heated! Before they quit working you they will get hot on top ( even with adequate ventilation ), will hear some unusual light buzzing sound or something that sounds like static from inside the unit and even if you attempt to disconnect, it may be too late and the unit will never light up or come on again unless you know a good electrician.Read full review...

Wouldn't Buy Again
This item has a VERY steep learning curve!! I finally got it to work, sort of, after hours and hours of frustration.
The remote is terrible. Sometimes you press a button and nothing happens. Sometimes, you press a button and it does what it should do. But, the majority of times it's nothing. This new remote behaves like a remote that has seen a lot of use. The time shifting video recording is clunky and hard to use. It is cheaper than alot of other options. I guess you get what you pay for. I would not recommend this device!Read full review...

Not a good DVR.
The recordings have sound and lip sync problems, the fast forward stutters, freezes, and jumps forward at a very uneven rate. Worse in backing up.
The program guide shows only a few hours forward.
Despite what the advertisement states, in my case, I could not watch a recorded program while it is recording another.
The remote is so small, it is almost impossible to only hit one button at a time. When I hit the pause button, it usually knocks out my sound bar and I have to do a reset on it.
The one good mark, the video quality is excellent.
I have all but quit using it.
MADE IN CHINA, but what isn't these days.Read full review...

Highly recommend it for antenna TV shows no available on cable
I am so glad that I am able to see antenna TV shows that are no longer available on cable with this device. Excellent and easy to use.

It's ok but it's not built to last. Poor user support.
I've had two AT103B boxes which quit working after a lot of use, especially with the remote control. Overall, it's easy to set up and use. Using my new AT103C box, however, appears to darken my TV screen as if there's a filter on. And nothing I do to the box fixes the problem.
Poor user manual and instructions. No telephone customer service. Read full review...

This, Small, unit takes up very little space and works very good.
Identical to the LAVA unit so the lava remote control also works on the EMATIC unit. These differently named units both are exactly the same as far as the remote controls and looks are concerned. Very easy to use and does n`t take up any room. Read full review...

Ematic TV converter box - more features and easy to use
Great TV tuner, works well and was able to get up to 30+ channels than the old RCA digital TV converter box I had in 2009. Perhaps this converter box did well to decode some of the weak signals. Great item, easy for me to use with DVR and more features!Read full review...

Better than cable
This is the fourth unit of the exact same model. if only I would learn not to fall asleep with the remote in my hand then the dog taking it chewing it up. I like it because I can also record programs onto an USB.Read full review...
