User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone have any issues with their recording schedules disappearing? Mine wiped all my schedules
Answer:	Ok I don't have this model but I have another model by same company (HW-150pvr) and it is dumping schedules too. I've had two units over 4 years and it's happened in the past but happening a lot more now. I'm on Amazon to find a replacement because this is unacceptable. I'm thinking Mediasonic is to be avoided.
Question:	Hi folks what external hard drive do you use with this? Thanks lynn
Answer:	I used a 500GB salvaged out of an old laptop that was totally dead. I ordered a cheap $7.99 ORICO USB3.0 to SATA III 2.5" External Hard Drive Enclosure from Amazon as well to mount it in. Worked perfectly. I've also used a cheap (free) 32GB USB thumb drive that I didn't have any problem with. Got that thumb drive free from a Microcenter computer store.
Question:	Es japones - *brasileño
Answer:	Hecho en Canada
Question:	Can you program the remote to control your TV
Answer:	Read the manual friend. The remote does control (it can, in the settings) the TV.

User questions & answers

Question:	FOX in my area is channel 4 and even with converter box set on channel 3, I still get no reception on channel 4, is this usual
Answer:	I am not sure this is the answer however my local FOX is also channel 4. After scanning the local stations available none of them actually display on the box as the local channel number. As example I can enter the actual channel (Channel 4 ) on the remote and it will display as channel 1 on the box but will actually be the correct channel on the TV to watch. I just enter the actual number on the remote. Hope this helped.

Answer:	The iView 3300STB in TV converter box that record TV program only. Not security camera recorder.
Question:	When this device records a show, what format does it record in? avi? mp
Answer:	The iView 3300STB record TV show in .MP4 format which is same format on other converter box.
Question:	So you don't need an antenna with this for local channels? You are also able to connect directly to a projector
Answer:	Antenna required for local channels. This receiver seems to be latest generation. The auto detect found 48 channels, where the old receiver found only about 20. The user interface is also greatly improved. If your projector has HDMI input then you are good to go.

Product features

How It Works

The iView 3300STB works by acquiring digital channels coming from ATSC, Over-the-Air, or ClearQAM, unencrypted digital cable transmission. The HD content that comes out allows users to receive unscrambled digital cable signals with the use of a monthly cable provider.

From Analog to Digital

The iView Digital Converter box automatically converts the signal to be compatible with your analog unit. Analog TV owners won't need to get themselves a new TV if they don't want to.

The iView 3300STB has built-in QAM capabilities that allow you to watch unscrambled, unencrypted cable channels and supports Over-the-Air (OTA), which allows the user to receive some unencrypted digital cable channels, also known as "in-the-clear" channels.

Our iView 3300STB has a 3/4 channel switch you can toggle in the back to access analog channels in countries and areas where analog signals are still present. Broadcasting is still alive and well, even in your old TV.

ATSC and QAM Capabilities

OTA (Over-the-Air)

The iView Digital Box works great in ATSC, otherwise known as over-the-air or local channels. Once plugged in, the 3300STB gives you a wider range of channels you can view, with noticeably higher picture clarity. Just connect to your antenna line, scan for channels, and you're ready to go.

QAM Capability

The iView 3300STB comes with QAM, or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, capability, a format that most cable companies use to transmit and encode their signals.

Our converter boxes are able to pick up ClearQAM channels with a monthly cable provider that offers unscrambled, unencrypted cable.

Watch local OTA channels, unscrambled digital programming and possibly some bonus channels (depending on your location). HD and SD channels become unlocked the moment you plug and successfully setup the iView 3300STB in.

Universal Media Player

The iView 3300STB can act as a universal media player to play videos and music.

To use the media player functions, it is required to connect a USB Flash Drive or External Hard Drive to the box. The drive needs to be no bigger than 4TB in size and formatted to Fat32 or NTFS.

If the storage device has any media already saved on it, those media files can be played on the Iview Box. Selecting “Pictures” will display a slide show of any pictures in JPG, BMP, or PNG format. Selecting “Music” will turn the device into a music player. This music player can play any music files in WMA, MP3, or AAC format. The final option, “Video” will allow playback of any videos in AVI, MKV, MPG, and MKV formats. During video playback, you can press the green SCHD button, on the remote, to cycle between preview and full-screen modes.

DVR Capabilities

Record digital content while you're away with the iView 3300STB.

Connect the box to a USB Flash Drive or External Hard Drive to start recording with DVR. Plug your external drive and record movies and shows to playback later straight to your device.

The DVR function can be done two ways: A recording can start and stop using the red REC and STOP buttons on the remote, respectively, allowing for impromptu recordings at any time. The device can also schedule recordings. From there, the channel, start time, and end time can be set and the box will automatically record and end at the scheduled times. This can also be set to record daily (every day, including weekends), weekly (once a week), or just once. However, the box’s recording functions are limited to one at a time and can only have no more than 30 scheduled recording jobs saved onto the box’s memory.

From Analog to Digital

The iView Digital Converter box automatically converts digital signals to work with your analog unit. The tuner box comes in with input holes for both analog and newer-type TVs. The iView Premium has a built-in QAM tuner and supports Over-the-Air (OTA), which allows the user to receive some unencrypted digital cable channels, also known as "in-the-clear" channels. You can finally watch TV without needing additional set-top boxes or a monthly cable subscription. Our box also has passthrough capabilities via firmware to access analog channels in countries and areas where analog signals are still present. Analog channels will still be accessible due to our converter boxes' pass-through capability.

The iView Digital Box works great in OTA. Once plugged in, the Premium gives you a wider range of channels you can view, with noticeably higher picture clarity. Just take the converter out of the box, connect to your antenna line, and you're ready to go.

DVR Capabilities

QAM isn't just for acquiring cable signals. The technology can also be used to record digital content while you're away from the TV. You can play music, movies, and videos in a wide variety of formats using a USB drive connected to your converter box. Choose the preferred show, then hit the Record button and the iView Premium will start recording the show, just like a DVR equipment. You can do a weekly or a monthly recording without any limits or extra fees. Recording works really well here- you won't be able to tell the difference between live and recorded content.

Connect your External HD For DVR recording. Plug your external disk drive in to record movies and shows straight to your device. You can also use the HDD to play content such as movies, music, and videos without any noticeable lag or loss of quality.

• Power Light - Red indicates that the iView Premium is set at Standby Mode.
• Lock Light - Green indicates that the converter box is working and is turned on.
• USB Port - The USB port may be connected to an external hard drive for added storage space during DVR recording.

TROUBLESHOOTING:



LED Light Turns Off: If it is the first time the box is turned on, the LED light will light up and then turn off after a few seconds. This is normal. It means that the box has not yet been set up. You should see "Installation Guide" on your TV screen. If not, switch your TV to the correct correct video input.



No Channel Found/ Few Channels Found: Re-position your antenna and do a channel search. If that doesn't help, it could be your location. Air signals are tricky & sensitive. Results vary depending on how far your home is from a transmitting tower. In addition, hills, mountains, trees, bodies of water, buildings and walls can interfere with over the air signals. Some areas might have a hundred channels and some areas might have none. Keep in mind that this converter box is not a booster but simply a receiver.

User questions & answers

Question:	Que canales trae
Answer:	todos los locales
Question:	How many shows can you record
Answer:	I'm guessing it depends on how much space you have on the flash drive. You can't record shows if you don't have a flash drive connect.
Question:	I have cable tv and would like to use this to plug the cable to it and transmit it to my projector via hdmi output, would that work
Answer:	Sorry but no. This converter box will not receive cable signals.
Question:	does this work on an old analog tv
Answer:	Yes I just installed it on an analog tv. It works great. I did however upgrade to a larger tv antenna to pick up a couple more channels. The antenna that is supplied works ok if you're near the broadcasting city. I'm about 30 miles away so I went with a larger amplified antenna and get crystal clear picture. Also the DVR function is a nice feature.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use it to watch TV on a projector using the coaxial cable to this box and then the hdmi out to the projector
Answer:	Yes. Need an antenna. It is not a cable box. Only clear cable channels will work if using cable. Cable companies scamble most channels
Question:	It's this box an improvement over the 163 one? I like that one but need to return it due to it rebooting and freezing during playback of videos I reco
Answer:	Question for "Guitar Playing Guy"... I tried to connect a completely new and functioning external HD and have been unable to get a consistently reliable connection. It supplies power to the drive, but 9 times out of 10 shows up on screen as not being connected. I suspect a very cheap USB component in the box, since it has a lot of play once the cable is connected and the cable will not snap into place AT ALL. It's like trying to work with a plug made of barely held together parts.Their product description here reads: "All you need to do is hookup a digital TV antenna to your AT-263! Want to record? Just plug in a flash / thumb drive or an external hard drive into the USB port on your unit, and you're ready to go!"This is obviously not the case (at least for me and a number of others who have commented about this very issue).UPDATE: As of June 18, 2016 I'm returning the item due to the many flaws that prevent it from being used as advertised.
Question:	Can i use this as a tv tuner for an led computer monitor
Answer:	Yes, hook up the box to the antenna input and then use the Video out (or HDMI ) to your monitor and your set. The box will be the digital tuner for your monitor.
Question:	The coax input on my smart tv twisted off. will this box take a coax input and output hdmi or rca to my tv
Answer:	Yes, it will take coax input and output it to HDMI or RCA
