- Will this work with my old CRT TV?
- Yes. It has analog outputs for older sets, and an HDMI port if you later move it to a modern TV.
- Can I record shows with it?
- Yes, it records broadcasts to a USB drive you plug in. You cannot watch a different channel while recording because it has one tuner.
- Does it need internet?
- No. It works from an antenna only and has no streaming apps or IPTV support.
- Why does HDCP matter here?
- The box does not support HDCP, so some HDMI splitters, switches and capture devices may refuse its signal.
- What is in the box?
- The converter box, a remote control, batteries, an AV cable and a power adapter. You supply the antenna and any USB drive for recording.
- Is it better than a cheap streaming stick?
- They do different jobs. A streaming stick needs internet and gives apps; this box tunes free over-the-air channels for a TV that has no digital tuner.
- Where is the Aluratek ADTB01F Digital Converter Box cheapest?
