Deal of the Day from Solid Signal

This one says its a STB3500

I'm thinking of it more as an RV tool that you can record shows with very little power draw whilst out at the campfire.

BTW- everything is compressed, including OTA, it just depends on how hard. Certainly WAY less than the Satellite or cable folks who sometimes are picking up already compressed video off air then doing it again

I have one - it works pretty well. Major downside is that you only get about a day's EPG - whatever's in the data stream the TV station is sending, so you need to set up your recordings almost daily. Even when you select a show to record from the guide, it's stored as a time-based recording, so if the show moves, the recording won't follow it. Sometimes screws up recording the same thing every week.

I use a 128gb USB stick to record on - the USB doesn't seem strong enough to reliably use an external USB hard drive. And the uncompressed HD data from a 1080p TV station seems to run about 12gb per hour, but I usually offload it to a computer pretty quickly.

For ~$30 it's a cheap toy. But I wouldn't use it as my main DVR.

Also - the one listed may not be the latest model. Mine is a STB-II. This one just says it's an STB.

$32.99 on Amazon but they get mixed reviews on there.
