How It Works

The iView 3200STB-N 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 3200STB-N 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 3200STB-N 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 3200STB-N 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 3200STB-N 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 3200STB-N in. Picture quality will entirely depend on the converter unit's ability to acquire signal, and this is where iView's offering shines.

Universal Media Player

The iView 3200STB-N can act as a universal media player to play videos and music.

The 3200STB-N sports the following video decoding capabilities- MPEG-2 MP in NS, MPEG-4 ASP, SP, In DivX 3.11, 4.x, 6.x, VC-1, FLV and H.264 HP format.

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 2TB 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 3200STB-N.

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 by pressing the green SCHD button on the remote. 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.

Iview 3200STB-N Form and Function

Don't let the diminutive size fool you- our cable converter box is heavy with features and packs in endless hours of viewing entertainment once you turn it on!

Take a look at the form and various functionalities the compact converter box offers:

From the Manufacturer

Manufacturer's Description (January 29, 2009)

Enjoy an easy transition from analog to digital TV broadcasts with the Sansonic FT-300A Digital Converter Box, which enables an older TV not connected to cable or satellite to receive and display digital TV programming (ATSC). This converter box is eligible for the TV Converter Box Coupon Program. It supports programming and system information in both 4:3 (standard definition) and 16:9 (widescreen, digital) aspect ratios to fit any TV. It also includes a remote control that features mute, sleep, and V-Chip controls.

The front (top) and back (bottom) of the Sansonic FT-300A digital converter box.

Features

• Receives over-the-air (terrestrial) channels 2 through 69
• Input: RF cable
• Output: RF cable or composite video (yellow plug) and audio (red and white plugs)
• After installation
• Supports channel display, closed captioning, and V-Chip parental controls
• Displays antenna level and signal quality
• On-screen display languages: English, French, Spanish
• Coupon-eligible converter box (CECB)

Instructions

1. Disconnect your existing antenna by pulling or unscrewing the coaxial (RF) cable from the "antenna in" jack on the back of your TV.
2. Connect the coaxial (RF) cable to the "antenna in" jack on the back of the converter box.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Use the supplied coaxial cable to connect the "antenna out" jack on the converter to the "antenna in" jack on the back of your TV. Using this method, you will view digital TV broadcasts on either channel 3 or 4 (selected during initial setup of the converter box).
   • If your TV (or VCR) is equipped with the corresponding inputs, you can use an optional AV composite cable (yellow video plug; red and white audio plugs) to connect the "AV out" jacks on the converter to the "AV in" jacks on the back of your TV. Using this method, you will view digital TV broadcasts by selecting your TV's AV mode.
4. Plug in the converter box power cable, and turn on your TV.
5. Press the Channel Scan (CH SCAN) button on the remote to find available channels in your area (which will be memorized by the converter box).

Note: If your antenna connects to your set via a thin, flat wire hooked to a pair of screw terminals instead of a threaded coaxial cable input, you will need to use an inexpensive antenna adaptor.

Tech Talk

Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard-definition television broadcasts have a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Many digital TV broadcasts have a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience. Even after the transition to the ATSC digital TV broadcasts after February 17, 2009, some programming (especially older shows) will still be viewed in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

ATSC tuner: Often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner, allows reception of digital television (DTV) signals broadcast over-the-air by TV stations. May be integrated into a television, VCR, digital video recorder, or set-top box.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have an analog or a digital TV?

What you need to know is whether your TV set has something called a "digital tuner" already built in. If it does, your TV set will receive digital signals. The best way to determine whether your TV set has a digital tuner built in is to consult your owner's manual.

If you bought your TV set before 1998, it probably doesn't have a digital tuner at all. Almost every TV set made before 1998 was a traditional "analog" set. If you bought a big-screen, projection TV between 1998 and 2004, it may have a built-in digital tuner inside. But chances aren't great.

If you purchased a new TV set since 2004, your chances of having a built-in digital tuner improve dramatically. Starting in 2004, many of the TV sets sold at popular electronics stores feature digital tuners. But it's not a sure thing. Even some of the newer TV sets are purely display monitors that lack the internal circuitry needed to pick up digital broadcasts. Usually these sets have been advertised as "HD-ready" or "HDTV monitor" sets. That means they can display digital and high-definition signals, but they need help getting those signals in the first place. You'll still need a special converter or a cable TV connection.

Will I receive High-Definition TV with a converter box?

No. Analog televisions are not capable of displaying High-Definition resolution, but the picture will generally be better with a TV converter box. If you want to view High-Definition TV, then you will need one of the newer sets rated for "High-Definition" resolution.

Will my VCR or DVD player still work once I plug my converter box into my TV?

The analog equipment you currently use will continue to work with (output to) your analog TV set just as before, but they will not be able to receive over-the-air programming without the TV converter box. Attach the converter to your VCR, TiVo, DVD-R, etc. instead of hooking it directly to your TV.

• Allows older TVs not connected to cable or satellite to receive new digital TV (DTV) signals
• Simple plug-in RF coaxial cable connection; composite video (yellow) and audio (red/white) outputs
• Selectable channel 3 or 4 analog output
• Supports channel display, closed captioning, and V-Chip parental controls
• Coupon-eligible converter box (CECB)

User questions & answers

Question:	Yo compre un televisor y lo mande a cuba pero necesito una caja convertidora para ver canales en HD no se que caja comprar
Answer:	The wireless charger does not switch voltage, it outputs wireless charging power at a constant 5V voltage, the only thing that changes is the current, from 0A to 2A, depending on the phone's battery need.
Question:	Does this unit come with a remote
Answer:	The power strip tower has built-in MOVs for a max 900J surge protection.
Question:	Will it work without the remote

Check the measurements carefully and order the size for the spot you have in mind. One of mine is a bit to tall for the place I wanted it to go.
Question:	I have a remote with my first unit, is it compatible with another unit
Answer:	Yes, I have not ever had any grief from TSA flying with it.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I am watching tv with analog headphones on using this converter, will others in the room be able to hear the tv
Answer:	Might depend on the TV. On a Samsung TV, once you plug in an optical cord it shuts off the internal sound ability. You usually get a 'fixed' line out so your volume control on the TV will be ineffective - so you will probably need a headphone amp with volume controls if you are attaching headphones - or you'll just get 'loud'.
Question:	Does this component work with a 50" led samsung? apparently it's a whole thing for these audio converters to be incompatible with samsungs. https://ww
Answer:	Thanks for your asking. For your problem,yes it will work great ,Please follow our setting steps when you use the product you need to change the Audio format to PCM/LPCM and change you TV to the external speaker setting it will work .

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.

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.
Question:	Can you hook up a security camera
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.

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:	Have a vizio tv with no cable input what do i need to get anntana conection
Answer:	I use the COMP cables (left, right, video) plugged into the converter and then plugged into the TV. You could also use a coaxial cable between the converter box antenna out to the TV antenna in. If the box has a HDMI jack, you can use an HDMI cable between the coverter and the TV
Question:	For use as a dvr, will this unit accomodate a 2tb hard drive, or is it limited to 1tb
Answer:	Only one USB device at a time. I had a 500 gig drive attached so I don’t know if there is a limit.
Question:	The audio lipsync tends to drift over time, after a power cycle the lipsync is good for a few days. Any ideas
Answer:	I have noticed that even looking at the program directly from the TV. I don't know with all of this rescanning that they had us do on many channels if that has made the difference.
Question:	Is the program meanie in 24 hour time format or 12 hour
Answer:	unit runs hot, not UL tested.
Question:	Boot questions I get 29 channels won't go to channels, just back to stat over and says Boot
Answer:	This could be one of two reasons. One is that the included antenna is not strong enough to receive signals in your location so you might have to purchase a stronger antenna to receive channels. Two, your location. You might not have signals at all. I recommend that you go to antennaweb.org, type in your address to see if there are channels in your area and what type of antenna is required to get those channels. On that site, the included antenna is represented in yellow. If you have further questions, send us an email from your Amazon account so we can further assist you with this.
Question:	Can hdtv antenna, coaxial cable connect to the box and then use the hdmi out to send signal to hdtv
Answer:	with an hdtv you only need an antenna. You don't need the converter box.
Question:	is this converter compatible with a 1 tb external seagate drive
Answer:	Don't know what a drag ate drive is ???
Question:	Will this work on a 2006 Plasma tv
Answer:	I do not have plasma, but i do not see that -- that would make any difference, as long as the box is working and changes the digital to analog--and if this tv is a 2006, i would think that it has a digital ready input?? If so u do not need a converter box, just a good antenna and maybe a signal amplifier. If it does not have a digital input u would need the box and it should work fine. I use a converter box thru a vcr recorder, just so i can record on vcr tapes--otherwise i would not need one,cause i have digital ready input, which i use if not recording on vcr tape.
