atsc-ntsc with pvr remote- broadcast without cable? Does this product work if one does not have cable, but relies on broadcast signals?

I have used it with my indoor OTA antenna but I have recorders which tune to those channels. I connected mine to my internet cable, and found there are some TV channels there which I can not get with my OTA Antenna. It may depend on whom provides your internet cable but I am getting a number of movie channels and I can either watch live or record on my computer HD to watch later.

One issue was resolved with a quick call to Peerless tech. I connected transmitter to DirecTV then out to Yamaha receiver. Picture/sound flickered on/off. I had to connect transmitter after AV receiver, not before. Works great, and now any device connected to my receiver (BluRay, CD, VCR) is transmitted to remote TV. Putting transmitter inside cabinet reduced signal, but placing it as close to receiver as possible, receiving signal is 4 bars (highest) even through 2 walls and on another floor.

If your asking about t.v.? Then yes, I am using this device to record cable t.v. programming. If your asking about radio? Then no, it does not receive radio signals.

I do. I setup the program on the PVR with my TV on the HDMI selection and change my TV back to TV mode. Leave the PVR on and not in standby mode. All digital TV's have a selector button that allows you to switch between tv, av, hdmi and dvd.

Thank you for your response -- I am still trying to figure out why my remote wouldn't work. I sent the TV back to Amazon.com since we couldn't get the remote to work. Where did you have your Uverse receiver located? I had mine on a shelf directly under the TV -- don't know if that makes a difference or not? This is very mysterious as no one else seems to have had this problem.

My VCR is also still working, but I fear any day it will "konk out" and I'll be lost. I also use a portable DVD player which is OK, but it would be nice to have an "all in one" which would be relatively easy to install and would still enable me to record shows directly from the TV without a hassle. I only have the very basic cable system (no separate box or satellite).

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.

This thing does not work at all. If you are inputting a PAL signal, you theoretically should get a synced NTSC out. This thing does not work at all and has no sync circuitry.

That's exactly how I use mine. No video, only audio, all toslink. Works great. No signal loss that I can hear. Remote is cheap, but that is standard these days.Marck

I believe that the statement above is incorrect . This device should record HDTV broadcast since it contains an ATSC tuner. However it will not play the broadcast back as HD since the media to which it writes (regular DVD & VHS tape) do not support playback in HD. Ergo you lose some definition in playback.

The previous answer is not quite 100% correct. This unit does have an ANALOG tuner, which will no longer work with today's over-the-air digital high definition broadcasts. The tuner will work with basic, unencrypted, analog cable, but that's it.

NTSC and PAL is to do with the TV not the player as far as know. Since attached to computer the computer just plays movie and then displays on computer screen.

No need for additional receiver. It output video ntsc signal and as long as your TV can accept that you should be fine.

The "Yes" answers to this question conflict with responses on other questions - I think you can attach an antenna to the device and it will pick up the channels - you do NOT need cable tv or a tv - my understanding is that is the device is basically a tv receiver (without a monitor).

I am using coaxial to transmit HDTV and it works. This is just like using coaxial from your cable box to transmit HDTV signal to your HDTV. HDMI is needed when you are using a laptop, etc.
