Since the Manual is the worst ever written, I am going to tell you how (step by step) to get this up & going & how to record and then watch your shows. Hook up the unit to the Co-Ax cable (not supplied, & yes, you must have input from an antenna, preferably a digital antenna), the HDMI cable (not supplied) going to the TV, and the power cord. Insert a USB Flash Drive (any kind will work – it does not have to be a “fast writing” one, but get one with at least 32 GB of memory, preferably more, if you do not delete shows after watching them). One hour of recording is about 6 GB. Press the Menu button and arrow over to the 2nd icon (Picture) to set your screen size, then arrow over to the 3rd icon (Channel search) to automatically scan for channels (takes a few minutes). Next, arrow over to the 4th icon (Time) to set your time zone with DST ON (if in daylight saving time). You must set the local time correctly or shows will not be recorded correctly. To record a program: push the EPG button & arrow sideways to get to the channel you want, then arrow down to the program & time that program is offered , press OK, arrow down to once, daily, or weekly, then press OK. To watch a recoded program: push the USB button, arrow over to PVR icon>OK, HBPVR>OK, arrow up or down to your recorded program>OK. This will start the program off to the side of the TV screen, so then push the HOLD button to make it full screen. After that, use the typical play, pause, fast forward, etc. buttons on the remote.
