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.
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:	I have a smart tv with the antanna conection broken off the back. Can I use this for my (antenna in) and (hdmi out) to the tv
Answer:	This will output over HDMI, yes. My TV doesn't have a built in tuner, and therefore has no coaxial input. I output to the television over HDMI without issue.
Question:	does a hard drive have to be fat32. How do you do this with a hard drive
Answer:	Can not get it to recognize NTFS via USB. Have a 2019 firmware on the device (bought is 2019) and still will not recognize NTFS. Worse than that it will not recognize a FAT32 drive formatted. Can see a small FAT32 (less than 32GB) but that is it.
Question:	Does this box work with Comcast
Answer:	It "might" work on Comcast cable for Comcast's basic cable package, which is their first few analog channels. These are normally unscrambled/non-encrypted channels. You can test to see if you have that available on your Comcast cable, by plugging the coax cable directly into a TV (with a tuner) and see if you are getting any of the starting basic cable channels. Or call your cable provider and ask them if their very basic cable package offers unencrypted channels. When using this box on a cable system, you must change it to in the setup menu. This box will only pick up any non-encrypted, non-scrambled analog cable channels.
Question:	Can this do analog cable tv
Answer:	The ViewTV AT-300 --WILL-- handle non-scrambled, non-encrypted analog cable channels. That is, those basic cable channels that are on most cable systems that do not require a box from the cable company in order for your TV to receive these basic analog cable channels. The "box" that the cable company provides, are for those scrambled/encrypted cable channels that do require the cable box with a CableCard in order to receive these. The scrambled/encrypted cable channels are those of the upper tier packages that most cable providers offer, in addition to the hand full of basic (analog) cable channels. When using the AT-300 for basic, unscrambled, unencrypted analog channels, you must setup the unit for "CABLE" in the setup menu, rather then for "AIR" which is for OTA (over-the-air) broadcasts. However, this unit will not do BOTH OTA and CABLE at the same time though, (its either one or the other) but you can purchase a second unit for both your basic cable and your OTA, if you have multiple inputs on your TV (i.e. coax input and 1 or more HDMI inputs, or multiple HDMI inputs, etc.)

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a way to access the menu without the remote
Answer:	I just checked mine and I do not see a way to access the menu, but I don't use the origianl remote anyway, I use a logitech universal remote, much easier to use as the buttons are larger.
Question:	What does the Bypass for the modulation mean
Answer:	It just means that unit will allow Analog TV signals to pass through to the Tv and not just digital signals. Nowadays it means basically nothing. Almost everything is broadcast in Hugh def or digital format.
Question:	does it have an hdmi out put
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Are the recorded files viewable over any device other than the dvr itself? can i watch these recordings over my computer /streamable on home network
Answer:	I play the files in Pot Player and K-multimedia player too on my PC. Even changed the extension from .mts to .mp4 once and it worked too. So, if you don't have either of these players I mentioned, (or VLC as many suggest) you can try that. Also, when it records a 2 hour program, it records 2 separate files. But, the file extension for the second file is .mts1 which won't play on the computer unless you take the # 1 off at the end. But, then it will be the same exact name as the first file so, Windows won't let you. So, you also have to change the name of the second file that you remove the #1 from. Like add "part 2" to the file name. Example: I recorded a 2 hour program of "The Voice" which recorded in 2 parts...1 file for each hour. So this is what they looked like on my flash drive when I put it in my PC: First hour of the program was titled: 20190226-2000-WNBC -4-1.mts Second hour of the program was titled: 20190226-2000-WNBC -4-1.mts1 (see the 1 at the end of the file extension?) So, I took the #1 off of the file extension and added "part 2" to the second file name as seen below: 20190226-2000-WNBC -4-1 part 2.mts Or, call them anything you like..."Voice part 1" and the other "Voice part 2"...just as long as you title them differently and you remove that 1 at the end of the mts file extension.
