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:	what does the coaxial port do
Answer:	Allows you to attach a coaxial cable from an HDTV antenna or a satellite dish to your TV. This was done away with in new TV's because cable TV like DirectV and comcast now has the coaxial cable and coaxial port connection on their cable box, and their cable box connection to the TV via an HDMI cable. So TV manufactures decided they no longer needed a coaxial port on the TV; however, with everyone dropping cable for Netflix and free HDTV, that coaxial port on the TV is important. Don't buy a TV that doesn't have a coaxial port.

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm curious how you set-up recordings on this device. Does it have its own program guide
Answer:	Electronic Program Guide data is transmitted OTA embedded in the ATSC signal- whereas it seems that most new TVs dont decode this data- this box does decode this data. You can click OK on a broadcast and it will "book" it for recording It uses this data to set the recording scheduleYou can also program recordings the old fashioned "manual" way, so look up you broadcast schedule on the internet and go in and program the channels and times you want it to record. It is not a grid style guide- the EPG shows you the upcoming broadcasts on the current channel. To see the guide for another channel- the box actually changes to that channel to show you that channels data.
Question:	Apologies if this has already been asked: can I watch one channel while recording another with this product? Could I watch "Scandal" on ch 4-1 while recording "Elementary" on ch. 7-1, for example? Otherwise, sounds like a good option for "cord-cutting" with my LCD HDTV
Answer:	Yes, you can watch one channel and record another as long as you connect this product to an HDTV and set the modulation mode under the channel search menu to Loop Through.Although, you cannot watch a PREVIOUSLY recorded show while recording another channel.
Question:	how much memory does it come with to record? and is the HD good like with cable
Answer:	It doesnt come with any onboard memory for recording. You have to supply the memory with a a USB drive. The HD quality is excellent as long as it receives a good signal.For the best results you will want a thumb drive that has fast write speeds for smooth & seamless recording qaulity.Also, you need roughly 6 to 8 gigabytes of storage space per hour of recording, it varies greatly depending on the quality.It is recommended that you use a at the least a 16 gigabyte thumb drive for your own convenience.
Question:	I'm looking for an external HDTV tuner to output live over-the-air TV to a projector. Would this device work for that scenario
Answer:	OK , this is also what I want to do.Do I have to connect it on a HDMI port on the projector or can I connect to the HDMI port on the receiver?

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
