5.0 out of 5 stars Great Accessory for Cutting The Cable
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024
Verified Purchase
After years of cable bills of several hundred dollars, I made the jump to streaming. This was my answer for local channels. Luckily, I have a talented and handy neighbor and he set it up easily and quickly.

The picture quality is good, and having an extra remote is a small price to pay for the bill reduction that I am enjoying. The footprint of the receiver is small and takes up virtually no space. It serves the whole house and quite effectively. Don't forget you will need an antenna to use this.

ASIN B0C13WHDZV : Digital Converter Box for TV - 2023 Newest ATSC TV Tuner Hidden Behind TV, DCOLOR TV Stick HDMI

Okay. The price - the price. I have to keep that in mind. And I must consider this thing is still working. I bought it 11 Oct 2023. Today is 14 Feb 2024. It's been in continuous use for 5 months. As far as longevity goes, it's got other similar recorders beat simply because it's still working. Big plus. I'll probably buy another.

Recording schedules have been much more reliable if I turn it off once in a while. I had been leaving it on 24/7. It doesn't like that. I guess like most devices, it needs to be turned off/on every now and then. So, now I do that once per day. So, now it records reliably. I have it set to capture a few news programs daily. I set up the record schedule a couple of weeks ago. It hasn't missed at all now that I reboot it daily.

I should have known. I should have expected that. My routers need daily reboots. My computers need reboots every several hours of heavy use.

I'm really happy with the recordings it makes. They are easily editable by many different freeware applications from the ffmpeg open source coders. It's quick and easy to cut and save clips. I use those clips when I beckon my govenmnental officials to sit up and take notice on an issue they neglect in my little life.

I've got the USB hub attached to it so I can power the USB hard drive from the hub. (It's a powered hub using an ac adapter). I'm sure the ATSC stick isn't really capable of providing the 900 milliamps needed by the hard drive and I shouldn't expect it to be so.

I am liking it more and more. Some of the other similar devices would have stopped working by now. This one's churning out news recordings daily. It meets my needs.

ASIN B0C13WHDZV : Digital Converter Box for TV - 2023 Newest ATSC TV Tuner Hidden Behind TV, DCOLOR TV Stick HDMI

It did it again: Was recording two morning news broadcasts every day for about a week. Then, it did the same error again today. It failed to record those two "daily" shows and changed the start date to one week ahead into the future. In other words, it should have recorded the same two shows again today 08 January 2024 but it did not record and on top of that failure, it should have changed the next scheduled recording date to 09 January 2024 but instead it changed the next recording date to 13 January 2024.

Maybe it can't manage "daily" recordings for more than one week at a time? I don't know. I thought that for this latest test I had allowed it to run more than one week but maybe I didn't. Maybe it can only calculate "daily" recordings for a one week span of time. I'll try to figure it out.

In the meantime, if I need to rely on this for a recording, I'll have to do a full factory reset procedure, reprogram all of the settings for time zones, display aspect, and such and then reprogram the important recording that I want to capture. I'd still expect that it will fail even if I do a complete reset, reprogram and reboot.

This is a toy but it's not something I'd rely upon.

ASIN B0C13WHDZV : Digital Converter Box for TV - 2023 Newest ATSC TV Tuner Hidden Behind TV, DCOLOR TV Stick HDMI

Bought this 06 October 2023. It's still going strong. Many of the problems I had were caused by....me.

For a few weeks, I knocked this down to 1 star but since then I discovered that most all of the program schedule failures were due to the hard drive I had attached. I didn't expect that to be a problem but it was. The choice of hard drive was a bad choice and it caused problems in ways I never expected.

I had been using a Toshiba "Canvio Ready" 1 TB USB 3.0 external hard drive attached to a USB Hub attached to this DColor ATSC TV Stick. (Yep. That's what the crazy name Toshiba gave to this troublesome hard drive...Canvio Ready.) That thing goes to sleep after about 10 seconds of inactivity and then takes well over 10 seconds to spin back up during a session.

But, the real problem is that it has severe troubles getting started when called to action for a recording after many minutes of inactivity. It will falter and delay for a good 30 seconds or more before recording begins when called into action by the DColor ATSC TV Stick.

It seems that lengthy delay was causing the DColor ATSC TV Stick to miss recordings and it even caused some recordings to be rescheduled for weeks ahead of time. I know what you're thinking...how could the hard drive cause the problem. I understand. But it's true.

I removed the troublesome Toshiba Canvio Ready external drive and replaced it with an old Hitachi 2.5" 750GB hard drive I removed from a notebook. I put the Hitachi HD into an external enclosure. The enclosure is one of those clear plastic enclosures for around $10 U.S. or less. (I used a Sabrent EC-OCUB enclosure. It's even available here at amazon.)

With that old Hitachi 2.5" drive in the Sabrent enclosure connected to my old Targus ACH-129 USB 3.0 Hub plugged into the DColor ATSC TV Stick, it works great and hasn't missed a single scheduled recording for over a week. I'm calling it a success.

The hub is useful to provide power to the hard drive. I'm not sure the DColor ATSC stick is realliy wired to provide the required 900ma of current for a hard drive at its USB port. Maybe it is. I don't know. But, I know the Targus Hub (like many self powered hubs) will provide power to the hard drive and it does not "feed back" current into the TV stick. (Some USB hubs do cause a backfeed of current to the host--not all--but some.)

So, with the USB hub attached, I can connect more than one drive to this DColor ATSC TV Stick and with more than one drive connected, it prompts the DColor ATSC Stick to present a special menu page when you go to the PVR configuration menu so you can select which of the attached drives you want to use. (I attached a picture to this review to show that special menu page.)

I still don't understand the failure glitch but now that the Toshiba Canvio Ready 1TB external drive is out of the setup, I don't have the channel surfing problems that I was experiencing. and scheduled recordings aren't dropped any more, and when I play back recorded shows, it snaps to quick action when I fast forward and fast reverse or change files played back.

I still wish this TV stick had a "go to" function so I could plug in time coordinates to jump to a spot in a long recording. That "go to" function is great for a 4 hour recording like sports events, Svengoolie nights, and so forth. Without a "go to" function, we are forced to use the fast forward but even at 32X it takes a long time to scurry to a spot far down the time line in a long video file.

I format my drives in NTFS. That hasn't caused a problem and it lets us break the 4GB file size barrier of FAT32. I haven't tried exFAT. Maybe I'll do that someday. Microsoft has released exFAT without license costs so maybe if that file system isn't in the DColor now maybe it will be someday.

So, this DColor ATSC Stick is more durable than I thought. It's working as it did on day one...has some shortcomings but provides more than a good value for its price. The DColor just didn't like the Toshiba Canvio Ready hard drive. I don't blame it. I don't like that drive either....it's always going to sleep every 10 seconds or so. I have shelved it. Now I know why it was only $25 on clearance at a local store.
