Channel Master DVR+ review: Over-the-air recording that's a bit too basic
(PCWorld)

The Channel Master DVR+ is among the least-sophisticated ways to record broadcast TV from an antenna. The interface is crude, recording options are limited, and playback is tied to a single television.That´s not to say a simplistic approach is without merit, especially in a market full of overly complex products. But Channel Master´s $249 box is a bit too bare-bones for setting up and managing recordings, and its additional streaming features are a waste of time. It´s only worth considering if you´re unwilling to spend a little more.Plug and play The DVR+ is a slim slab of plastic that connects to your television over HDMI. Plug an antenna into the back, go through the guided setup process, and Channel Master will scan for over-the-air channels, adding guide data based on your zip code. The box also has an ethernet port for internet-based channels (more on that later), an optical audio port, and an IR extender port.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
