My experience has shown them to not be very reliable as far as making the recordings scheduled, and other glitches. BUT, they record to your external NTFS USB drive, and the files are readable by the computer as-is. Used prices have risen after production stopped.īut the Homeworx or iView boxes would be the cheapest. I think they were about $249 shipped when new, occasionally having discounts. ChannelMaster's promise of making these recordings available over the network never materialized. Then you can run a program (DVR+Lister, see link) someone wrote to extract the videos, otherwise they just show as random, broken up files with numbered names. You can take the external drive and hook it up to your computer, but will need to run the Ext2Fsd program to see the files.
Hook up a USB drive and it will format it to Ext whatever. Or at least not as tolerant of reception issues.ĭVR+ came with either an internal 1TB drive, or no drive. I have found the tuner to be less sensitive than most of my TVs and other tuners. It is a 2 tuner unit, and has chase play, skip ahead/back, etc.
You can also set manual recordings like the old VCRs and magnavox DVR/DVD units. Also, the time sync provided by the broadcasters is not always the most precise. The less useful OTA guide broadcasters provide is sporadic, between a few hours to a few days of info. But the beauty of the DVR+ is that it can also use the guide that broadcasters provide, so it will be (admittedly less) useful when the free provided guide goes away. Hopefully for a while, as I think the new stream unit uses the same guide. Nice thing about the DVR+ is that you get a 2 week guide free of charge. They have unfortunately quit making them, and only sell the streaming version now, which has the usual number of 'new unit' problems. I've had a couple of the channelmaster DVR+ units for a few years.
Maybe I need to send the equipment back if it doesn't fit my needs.Ĭonsidered getting the channelmaster stream unit, but decided to stick with the DVR+.
If I cannot use this Avermedia equipment for taping OTA, I'm wondering if there are any other projects I could use it for? I never plan on buying cable tv again so that's out, and I use my PC for gaming. I cannot hook anything to my PC (different room) but everything (PC, TV) is on my network.Ģ. I was also looking at the HomeRun equipment but wasn't sure if that would do OTA.
If I can, what equipment and how to hook up? I have Samsung Smart TV. Is there a way I can hook up this EZ recorder to tape OTA, or is this box only for video game and cable tv box recording? I can get other equips if necessary. So would you please tell me a few things?ġ. There's only hdmi in/out when my tv only has hdmi in. Problem is, there is no way to get my antenna into the box. I researched (but obviously not good enough) and bought an Avermedia EZRecorder to record over the air shows.
