I also have tested (2) HW180 boxes and encountered the same issues, but see "Other thoughts" section for specifics. All 5 will lock to certain stations with ease, but the HW150 has trouble with the same ones. They all have different combination tuner/demodulator chipsets. Have tested it side-by-side with 2 integrated TVs (internal tuner/demodulator) and 2 ATSC set top receivers, and one USB stick receiver using the same antenna (outdoor 30-ft mast mounted with pre-amp). Very sensitive to signal level variations-has unusual reaction to combination of input level (in dBm) and tuner/demodulator signal-to-noise ratio: will lock to high S/N and low input combo AND to low S/N and high input level combo, but in between is sketchy. HDMI jack will output up to 1080p/60 Hz! Calling this device a "Converter Box" is somewhat misleading as it is a fully functional HDTV receiver: it outputs HD (via HDMI and component) and SD and downconverts HD for SD output on the composite jacks.Ĭons: Inconsistent reception quality: sometimes locks to stored channel when tuning, other times not. Recording option with USB drive is a plus. Pros: Easy to set-up compact normal AC cord-no wall wart nice selection of A/V outputs. In General, this product doesn’t work with encrypted cable signal. Please Note: This product doesn’t work with cable company, such as Comcast, DirecTV, DISH Network, Time Warner Cable, Shaw Cable, etc. You will also fall in love with the convenient features, such as timing start-up & shut-down, parental control function, closed caption etc.
