Question: Can I use this device with my computer to watch tv on the computer?
Document: A good tuner and will play back the TV shows you record but try to get the show to play back on another device is another story. It uses a mts file format and breaks up the programing by assigning different file extensions that your computer will not play. Can't get Windows 8 to do anything with it. Shame because it could have been great.
This might be the product for you. For example. Recording your favorite TV to watch while your on vacation. I saw a similar unit at a lower price on Amazon.
The program does record...but I could not figure out how to watch it. I spent two hours trying everything I could think of. I even looked online. I am sure it would work if I knew the right steps or set up. But this unit was for my older parents.
This is the tool needed to send a TV signal to a device like a receiver and the receiver sends the signal to a projector
I think this unit could work if I could understand it. The manual is of little help.
Nice looking unit if it worked..For the money I would expect something that would explain how to set it up...I finally got it to work partially but no recording which is what i was looking for...Returned.....
It did have a really good picture but I bought it to record and it had difficulty doing so. If you set a recording from the program guide it would not work most of the time. It would record if you pushed the record button but sometimes it would lock up. That is why I returned it. Here is the nit picky stuff you may be interested in.
The front display gives the channels in numerical order and not the channel number. I just wonder why no company makes a $100 dvr that could do the things that a $100 vcr could do. I would pay $200 if it worked like a vcr and was as dependable. Yes, I am remembering back to the good ole days when things worked.
The cable TV input goes directly into the HDTV RF coax as usually but the antenna input goes through the DT-1200 and into the TV set using an HDMI slot. I am very satisfied with it's performance. It would be even better if the DT-1200 could handle two RF inputs simultaneously. Then I wouldn't even have to switch inputs on the TV set.
This product was used to replace an old DVR in a motorhome that only could search for digital television broadcast signals we are typically dealing with these days. The product works fine and did what I needed it to do. I didn't test it yet for recording using flash or other storage media. I couldn't yet figure out how to program the correct date on the programming guide although programming the time of day was simple.
Answer: I purchased one some time back and wanted to use it to replace my cable box. It did no do that so I assume that it can not do what you want it to do.It is a very technical piece of equipment and not for a casual user.
