Review: Impressive! OTA Converter Box - Easy Setup, Solid Features, & Excellent Value. I'd buy again - Very surprised at how well this works. Imagine rabbit ears on the roof giving you HD quality picture and sound. I bought the small antennae as well. I bought this ZJBOX digital TV converter to get local programming, and it’s been a solid purchase. Right away, it felt like good value for money considering everything it can do. The picture quality is clear in 1080p, and I’m pulling in a surprisingly good range of over-the-air channels with a basic antenna. Setup was straightforward, and the overall ease of use is WAY better than I expected. The menu system is simple, and the control buttons on both the box and the remote are responsive and clearly labeled. I also like the timer settings for auto shutoff and scheduled recording—it’s very convenient. Recording to a USB drive works well, and while this unit doesn’t rely heavily on wireless connectivity, it does exactly what it’s meant to do without complications. The USB charging capability for powered storage devices is a nice bonus and worked without issues for me. Overall, this converter box does its job reliably, has useful features like recording and playback, and feels well thought out. If you’re looking to get free digital channels without paying for cable, this is a solid option.
Review: A great new use: broadcast TV on your computer display - These were all the rage in the 00's when broadcast was moving to digital, but now there's a whole new reason to pick one of these up. If you have a dual-monitor setup for your computer or, if your main monitor has a picture-in-picture feature like my Ben-Q graphics display, you can have broadcast TV running while you're working if you have a spare HDMI input. The setup on the ZJBOX was very easy. I connected it to a local antenna (I'm using an inexpensive, compact one I picked up here). If your display has built-in speakers, audio will play over HDMI or use the stereo outputs to connect them to another audio device. (Note that you may have to change the audio setting from PCM to Raw to get good sound) The reception, in terms of the number of local channels it can find and receive clearly, is far better than an older, 7" TV I'd been using before I tried this. The setup is pretty easy, though it took a bit to figure out the audio clarity situation, and the onboard software is nicely designed and quite sophisticated. It even picks up the time from the broadcast signal. The picture is absolutely beautiful. If you are just moving from cable to local broadcast, you'll be amazed to see what uncompressed, broadcast HD *really* looks like. This is a great and useful buy even if you just want to sometimes just watch the news or a sports event while you're working!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this work on any analog TV**
A: Yes, it would even work on a TV from the 1950s with the addition of an inexpensive 75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter.

**Q: Will this box work with verizon fios, so i don't have to rent a box from verizon?**
A: This box will only allow you to watch over the air (OTA) broadcasts from TV broadcasters in your area. It will not replace your cable provider's box. There are cable-only stations that you will not be able to receive such as Fox News Channel (not your local Fox affiliate), MSNBC, The Golf Channel, ESPN, and all of the premium movie channels.

**Q: Can this box work with the old fashioned rabbit ears?**
A: Yes.

You don't need a special antenna for digital television — although some stores will tell you that you need a special "HD" antenna.

Those people are full of crap.

You can keep using whatever antenna you were using in the 1990s! 

(I use a decades-old roof antenna, and it works great.)

However, if you use an old antenna, it's probably best to have an antenna that has a wire ring in the middle, not just the two telescoping "rabbit ears."

**Q: How big of a hard drive will the handle?**
A: point is that these days a 1/2 TB SSD is rather affordable.  If you get a 1/2 TB M.2 with the USB case that matches the technology (there are SATA M.2 and NVME types) of the drive, you will get reasonable recording performance and the USB drive setup would require low power well within the tuner's capability. On Amazon I have found reputable drive for under 40 USD and the correct USB case for 11 USD ....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Okay - Good deal for the price - but....
*by A***R on November 2, 2025*

So I thought for the price of this I would give it a try. I have been wanting the ability to DVR shows that I like for some time - notably Jeopardy - when conflicts keep me from watching them This little box works for that and works fairly well. That said - here are some negatives... The remote is not intuitive - button layout is terrible. The remote overlaps functions with our Roku remote so certain buttons - notably the Up Arrow can't be used because they also cause something to change on the TV set. The buttons on the remote are tiny and close together - I have large hands so it is difficult to hit the correct button sometimes. The box itself is very light weight and the heavy duty cables between the antenna and it and it and the set totally overwhelm it. It is hard to position on a shelf or mantle. The picture quality of a recording is not the best - it isn't terrible but it isn't digital quality. When the box is on (and recording) it does not pass the antenna signal through to the TV via the antenna cable very well. It provides a great picture through the HDMI cable, but limits the quality of the signal to the antenna port on the TV. When the box is off the antenna signal to the TV is unaffected.
