User questions & answers

Question:	Why can't I record from my Satalite as long as I have it on channel 3 or
Answer:	This isn't a DVR like the ones Comcast, Dish, ATT, and Direct TV provide customers. It's a receiver that converts terrestrial-digital, over-the-air broadcasts. I would assume your "Satalite" is Direct TV or Dish. So they're already HD and they're coming from space, not earth. Different signals require different units. You can't use a Comcast DVR to pick up antenna reception.
Question:	Is the signal present at the RF Output analog or digital
Answer:	If you use the HDMI output it supports Digital 1080
Question:	is this what I use to watch free tv channels on an analog tv or do I need cable
Answer:	Yes, with device hooked between your antenna and your TV you can watch free over-the-air broadcast TV as long as you are within range of those broadcast signals. If you live in or near a major city you should have no problem even with an interior antenna. If you live more than 30 miles from the broadcast source you will need an exterior antenna. In either case you will get more channels and a better picture if you upgrade any existing antenna to a "digital" antenna. I made my own. I live 120 miles from Phoenix and currently receive 42 digital channels. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/how-to/tv/build-your-own-digital-tv-antenna
Question:	Does this require an hd antenna
Answer:	There is No such thing as an HD antenna. TV signals are all transmitted over the air line-of-sight in VHF and UHF frequencies in the range of 49.75MHz - 855.25 Mhz with, for example, 49.75MHZ being channel 1 and 855.25MHZ being channel 69. These days, in digital i.e. 1s & 0s. This varies from location to location though. Here where I live there are No Tv stations on channels 1,2,3 and so forth. The local TV stations are all on channels 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, and so on. Nevertheless, a TV antenna is designed to pick up those frequencies regardless of whether the digital signal contains HD or Non-HD programing & content. It does not differentiate between. It's the TV tuner that does the differentiating. Out-putting of HD and Non-HD programing & content on whichever channel it is to be displayed on. Oh, and TV turners are built into TVs. You don't need to buy an external TV turner which is essentially what this box is. Unless of course: 1. The TV tuner in your existing TV is doing a really poor job of tuning. A lot of LCD and Plasma TVs built before 2015 had really cheap low quality TV Tuners in them. They could not pick up weak TV signals. Whatever was being displayed on the screen broke up or was static. 2. You got a really Old Tube type TV that can't do digital. This box will take care of that. It will convert the digital Tv signals to analog. It has a DAC built as well. DAC = digital to analog convertor. If your TV is that old though you should probably be buying a new TV rather than one of these boxes.

User questions & answers

Question:	tv is on channel 3, put the box on en a blue screen appears'' qfx'' after 10 seconds you don't see noting but only snow. how can i install this
Answer:	I haven't installed my QFX yet so I don't know what to tell you. Only thing I can think of is that IF Ch.3 is one of your major local TV stations, you might try Ch.4 (assuming that it is NOT one of your major TV stations). In the area that is what has to be done - we can't use Ch.3. You might re-read the instructions again as it is easy to miss something in the first reading. Does the unit come with any troubleshooting help? Sorry I can't help you more.
Question:	my local nbc is 4.1 Will 4.1 show up in the display or is it some funky number
Answer:	I BELIEVE THE DISPLAY WILL SHOW 0401, WHICH IS BASICLY 4.1 BUT BECAUSE OF STATIONS LIKE WJP-WX WHICH IS 33.10 THEY NEED THE EXTRA SPACES AND THE RADIO CHANELS ARE LIKE 33.11 33.12 ETC. YOU ONLY HAVE TO HIT THE NUMBER 4 ON THE REMOTE AND STATION 4.1 WILL BE ON THE TY
Question:	Anyone experiencing lag between audio and visual? On some channels I see this occurring but not on all, anyone know the cause
Answer:	What I have found on a similar device is the audio and video do not match on SD channels unless you use the LPCM (PCM) audio option. Since that is only 2 channel, you will not get 5.1 audio. I did not find the same problem on HD channels, but your mileage may vary. ;)
Question:	How can i order just the remote control for qfx cv-103 digital converterbox
Answer:	I don't know how you would obtain a remote control only, other than getting in touch with the manufacturer of the qfx cv-103 digital converter box itself. If they can't help you maybe they can refer you to someone who can help you. If it is the remote that came with the converter box new, then you might try the place where you bought the qfx originally. I'm thinking this might take a while to resolve. I wish you luck.

Answer:	Yes, this works with the old analog, "tube" TV's. Being the cheapskate I am, I still have 3 or 4 of them, and this works great with them. I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	h i, im looking for box that i can hook up between the cable provider and my old style tv so i can watch and record the cable channels. any recomen
Answer:	I'm looking for relatively short feet also. Did you find a stand that works for your 9.5" space? If so, can you share a link?? Thanks!
Question:	Works with converter box but won’t program to my tv. Any advice
Answer:	They say that it works up to 55" TVs, but would I want to use a $20 product for that size TV? I don't think so.
Question:	Will this work for a energy star converter box connected to rca tv
Answer:	With 400x400 vesa, the distance between two legs is 23 inches, the height of the junction plate is 4", so the space dimension is around:23"*4".
Question:	Can this replace a dtx9950 remote
Answer:	The manual says: 110 V - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (U.S.A./Canada 120 V AC, 60 Hz). The plug is a two prong 110 V plug. There is no transformer as you see with laptop power supplies. I suspect if you buy a European model you get 220 but I don't know.

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.

Digital Stream Analog Pass-through DTV Converter Box

• Capable of passing analog signals through to the TV set

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if this would pick up over the air digital channels
Answer:	Yes, it does. That's the only kind of TV signals that are sent over the air any more. I set my unit up in no time and am using only an inside-the-house digital antenna and I get about 10 channels. If I had a better antenna and it was on the house or high up it would probably pick up over 50 HD digital channels. My brother has an antenna and gets over 50 channels on his big-screen. Mine is just hooked up to a little 13" analog TV. Clear picture for an old TV! Hope this helps.
Question:	Need a External Antenna to go along with this item. What would you recommend? Thinking indoors
Answer:	Old. Find one from the 1970"s back when they were built to work rather than look pretty. Check flea markets and yard sales. You'll need an adaptor to go from 2 wires screwed on to a 1980"s cable ready connection but its by far the best reception you'll get without a massive flagpole outdoor antenna
Question:	Does any one know how to program the favorite button on the remote
Answer:	Go to Menu, (blue Menu button) then hit Select (Blue "OK" button) on the 'Channel' category (shows as "CH") Then, navigate down (using White down-arrow key) to 'Channel Edit' on the sidebar menu, and select that. You should then see a full list of the channels in your lineup. Above, there are 4 columns: 'Channel', 'RF', 'Add' & 'Fav.' You can use the directional arrow keys both horizontally and vertically to move through the channels and columns and Select which you want to be in your Favorites. I really like this box. I've had other brands that made it fairly impossible to program Favorites, but this one is pretty easy. Hope that helps :)
Question:	If i use this on my hdtv will i be able to record over the air tv on my dvd recorder
Answer:	Yes, but you will lose some quality. You will be recording the analog signal from the converter box. You can use a splitter so that your antenna can feed into both the TV directly (do a channel search from the tv for HDTV signals) AND another cable from splitter goes into the DTV converter which goes into your DVD Recorder. This way you can SIMULTANEOUSLY record any channel from the Digital Stream converter, while watching another channel in High Def using the TV's tuner.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will i need a universal remote to program the box and the tv
Answer:	I don't know if a universal remote will work for the converter box. I used the remote for the box to control it, then the TV's remote for the TV.
Question:	Will i need a universal remote to program the box and tv
Answer:	Good Morning,This unit comes with a remote. Your TV will be set to a specific channel for the converter and changing of the stations will be done all through the converter box. Possibly, depending on the TV, you may still need to use the TV remote for on/off of the TV set. Thanks JR
Question:	Do you need an antenna along with the converter box? Or is the converter box enough
Answer:	You need an antenna. The converter box only changes the antenna's digital signal a to an analog signal, which the older TVs use.
Question:	Does it have a usb port
Answer:	Not in the sense of the word hub, in plugs into a usb hub. I have mine that was.
