The iView 3500STBIII is a digital converter box that lets an analog TV receive digital broadcasts. It has a built-in ATSC tuner for over-the-air channels and a QAM tuner for unencrypted digital cable ("in-the-clear") channels. It converts the signal automatically for older TVs and also works with digital-ready TVs.
The box connects to a TV through RCA composite, YPbPr or HDMI. HDMI output delivers up to 1080p. After you connect an antenna and the TV, run a channel search to list the available channels. The box scans for ATSC channels by default, and a setting in the menu switches it to Clear QAM.
It also records TV and plays recordings back. Firmware pass-through lets it receive analog channels in areas where analog signals are still broadcast. It can feed a PC monitor or a computer with an HDMI port, so those can show TV channels.
