    It does work really well, but seriously disappointed that Microsoft dropped the DVR plans they had. They said for years that you could hook up an external HDD and record live TV, but then dropped it before it even released.

    Bleh.

    Can I plug this in to something other than an Xbox? I'd like to use it on my NUC running KODIbuntu.

    Do I need antenna plugged in? Can this work off WiFi?

    Just loaded pic, it does need one.spewing

      Doubt it, but curious also…

      It requires that you plug in a RF cable from your antenna.

        I thought so, don't know why some clown negged me, I said it requires antenna plugged in as I seen the pic with antenna input

          I didn't neg you, but I'm guessing it was because it makes no sense. Why would it use wifi?

          I didn't neg you either… but it's a bit of a silly question.

          I was just asking, you the electronics police?

          Wasn't trying to be rude. Just taking a guess.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/10/2016 - 13:40

    Does it come in black?

    • llama on 27/10/2016 - 18:22

      Sure - if you don't plug it into your Xbox, the picture it produces is 100% pure black.

  • juzz0 on 27/10/2016 - 13:55

    Can you have picture in picture if you have an external tuner (like Foxtel IQ) hooked up? I haven't figured out how to do it (just the snap thing which reduces the size of the frame to the smallest box imaginable - I'm thinking proper side by side Picture in Picture where you can easily toggle between the two for sound).

  • Conno1979 on 27/10/2016 - 14:20

    Great stocking fillers for the kids at that price. Thanks OP.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/10/2016 - 18:14

    (profanity) it, I'll ask.

    I wanna use the HDMI input on my Xbox One but for the life of me can't get it to work. I get a signal when it does a little box demo video thing when I'm setting it up but get a black screen doing anything else after that. It's not worth taking something out of the tele to play Wii U but I wouldn't mind leaving it in the back of the Xbox.

    I was screwing around with that a few months back when I had one of these tuners, ended up returning the tuner since my bloody house has god awful signal for free to air.

      Need to 'snap it'. I gather you did that?

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/10/2016 - 21:20

        I got that far fine, but there's just no picture that comes through (or audio), only a pitch black beyond Vin Diesel's wildest dreams. Cheers anyways man!

      Every time I see one of these kinds of toys, I think "wow, that would be awesome so we would be able to watch TV".

      Then I remember that even with a massive mast on top of the house that looks like a perverted space telescope, we cannot get FTA TV from any direction. So we pay for a Optus Cable box to watch TV, which is a pain in the arse and only available on one TV (I send it via RF to the small bedroom TV, but quality is horrible).

        I feel that. I bought a 10 metre HDMI cable from K-Mart and ran it under the house to get Foxtel in the bedroom. I'd be right if these FTA apps were worthwhile but as of the last time I checked, only 7 actually offers live TV through their app. I'd be down to stream FTA, but those useless apps have like a handful of eps of a few shows and that's it, why even bother?

          If you run W10 on a HTPC or similar, there is "Aussie TV FTW" which is in the W10 store. I think there is an XBox version as well. Google will point you in the right direction.
          It runs all FTA stations. Works OK for me.
          You can also run Foxtel Skynews FTA without a subscription via the Foxtel Play app for PC. This has all the political stuff like The Bolt Report, Allan Jones, Mark Latham etc. Again Google it.

        • TheDukeOfNukem on 27/10/2016 - 22:38

          @bluegrass: I'll have to look into the Xbox version, since I'm only on a Chromebook and have no other PC at the moment. Cheers for the info though, that's pretty cool to know.

          Edit: Gave it a Google, shit dude, that's awesome. It works fine on Xbox. I can't tell it to download from the Chomie unfortunately (just says my device is unsupported) but I'm keen as a been to download this when I jump on the Xbox next, thanks man. And considering I download everything I like and wouldn't bother taping anything, this is literally better to me than the TV tuner this page is about, thanks buddy, this is sweet!
