They had suggested me, as a temporary measure, to slightly bend the positive plates in the old remote where the batteries make contact and it worked ok after that. The outcome was they sent me a new remote that is a new revision of the old one with a modification in the battery compartment. I contacted Mediasonic support and they were very helpful. The issue I got was with the remote control not responding intermittently up to the point it was almost never responding. I have been using the unit since december 2015. I am using a USB 3.0 64GB flash drive as a recording medium. Overall Review: I bought this converter to drive my projector and also record in high definition the over the air channels. I suspect the capacitors are low quality because depending on the manufacturer of the capacitor the expected lifetime of a capacitor can range from 1000 hours to more than 10,000 hours. I replaced the capacitors and now it functions normally again. I found 3 leaking capacitors after opening it. Mediasonic support replied : 'the unit is dead and has to be replaced. Symptom : Led stays red, never goes to green as it should when powered on by remote or front panel power button.

Update July 2018 : Unit failed after 2.5 years. No problem for me, never missed a recording yet.

It relies on what the channels are transmitting OTA for time. Again it is not a problem for me since it occurs maybe once or twice in a 30 minute recording.Дoes not have a clock that can be set in the unit. When listening to a recording I noticed that sometimes the scene goes in some kind of fast forward with the speech also following the fast forward. This could be caused by the USB medium I am using. The recordings also have small cuts, which for me is not enough to be a problem but if a perfect recording is needed then this could be annoying. Or not record at all if the USB storage is already full.

If there are other recordings already on the USB stick and the free storage left is not enough for the new recording it will start recording and then stop when the storage runs out. Overall, worth the purchase.Д¬ons: - There is no warning that the storage space in the USB flash will not be enough to finish a programmed recording. Low cost compared to some other solutions.
