Our take on the Aluratek ADTB01F Digital TV Converter Box

The Aluratek ADTB01F is an ATSC/QAM converter box that turns an over-the-air antenna signal into HDMI or RCA output for an older TV, and adds USB recording. It records shows to a USB drive or external hard drive, pauses live TV, and schedules timed recordings through a built-in program guide. It suits people keeping a non-digital TV alive on free broadcast channels, or anyone who wants a cheap DVR without a subscription. Against rivals like the Mediasonic HomeWorx and iView boxes, it offers the same core features but a plainer interface and a remote that reviewers find cramped.

What reviewers say

  • 3.8 / 5136 ratings

Owners mostly find it does the basic job: it pulls in free HD channels and records them to a USB stick. Complaints center on the remote, the clunky guide and occasional lockups during recording.

What people mention
  • RecordingPraisedOwners say timer and instant recording to a USB drive work reliably for most shows.
  • RemoteCriticisedReviewers call the remote small, with cramped buttons and faint labels.
  • Program guideMixedThe guide shows upcoming shows but loads slowly and is awkward to scroll.
  • Picture qualityPraisedHD channels look sharp over HDMI, and RCA output works for older sets.
  • ReliabilityCriticisedSome owners report the box freezing or missing a scheduled recording.
  • SetupMixedHookup is simple, but the menus confuse less technical users.

Questions and answers

Does it work with any antenna?
Yes. It takes a standard coaxial antenna input and tunes ATSC broadcast channels, plus clear QAM cable channels where available.
Do I need a USB drive to record?
Yes. Recording, pausing live TV and scheduled timers all need a USB flash drive or external hard drive plugged into the front port. None is included.
Will it work with an old TV?
Yes. It outputs over RCA composite cables for older sets and over HDMI for newer ones. You choose the cable that matches your TV.
Can it record one channel while I watch another?
No. It has a single tuner, so it records the channel it is tuned to. You cannot watch a different channel during a timed recording.
Does it need internet or a subscription?
No. The program guide comes over the broadcast signal, and recording is free. There is no account or monthly fee.
What file formats does it play from USB?
It handles common video and image files such as AVI, VOB, DAT, JPEG, and audio like MP3 and AAC, so you can use it as a basic media player too.
