So if the antenna you use isn’t quite strong enough, this will help a little in the mix. One benefit of this (for everyone) is that it also acts as a powered amplifier. It allows you to receive these channels if your TV doesn’t have a digital tuner (although almost every TV available now does), and function as your faux cable box (tuner), while passing the signal (up to 1080p) to your TV via HDMI. This is a channel box and DVR solution for those who make use of the OTA world. Now it’s time to highlight it again thanks to the HomeWorx HW180STB HDTV Digital Converter Box by Mediasonic. We have spoke about this before in writing about how you can ditch these expensive providers and make use of what’s floating around in the air for free. All of your local channels plus a handful more you may have never even heard are waiting for you and don’t cost you a monthly cent. Paid TV isn’t your only option, no matter what the providers tell you. However, people always seem to forget about OTA (over the air). I saw this on Amazon today: Amazon product Although the newer version of the Mediasonic Homeworx (HW180STB) appears to be a bigger seller, the Iview has a better rating and price.So many TV solutions to choose from between cable, dsl and satellite providers. I constantly hear how complicated things are already so I don't want to throw too much at her and get her mad at me. I would never expect here to remember how to navigate WMC/Kodi and watch/schedule programs. We do have a dual-boot system with Windows 7 (WMC) and Ubuntu Linux (Kodi) in the bedroom but my wife has to ask me which programs to run when she wants to do anything as it is. We just need a simple, quality, buy-it-once and its your tuner that can function as a pvr w/ external drive and/or has rca/s-video + l/r audio to connect to our dvd recorder in the living room. Agree that the wife-friendly idea is the way to go. Click to expand.I hear the TIVO's are very nice but no cable here (just a handful of OTA channels) so a bit of overkill in our situation and not looking for anything with a monthly fee involved.
