Review: 3rd one, works great - I bought two of these a year ago. I use them to watch TV on computer monitors and old analog TVs. I have an HDTV modulator so I can send my living room signal all over the house, usually from a satellite receiver. I have a 3-TV "man cave" setup for watching basketball, or for watching the news. I can patch one of the Z-JBox receivers into one of the TVs to get a game from a broadcast station. Sometimes the only way to get a WNBA game with Caitlin Clark is to use this receiver with my rotating TV antenna to pick up the signal from a station 100 miles away from us. The Z-JBox is more sensitive than most of the TVs in the house, and is equal to the best TVs in the house. One other thing I like about it is I can manually find a station after it has auto-scanned. That way, I can auto-scan to get most of the stations, then rotate the antenna to a different location, and manually add a new station without erasing all the other stations. These receivers are easy to use, have a good picture, and you can even record programs on a thumb drive and play the files back on a PC. My dog chewed up one of the remotes when we were gone too long. It was OK because I had the other remote, and I was able to save the IR codes into my universal remote in the living room. Then, a week ago, we had a horrible thunderstorm. Lots of lightning and thunder. The power went down for 3 hours and came back on for short glitches 3 different times. One of the Z-JBoxes quit working. I'm not sure if it was the lightning or the power surges. Nothing else was damaged, including the video monitor it was plugged into. They are so inexpensive, so I ordered a third one, and it came from desertcart in less than 24 hours. Now I have two remotes and two working Z-JBoxes again!
Review: Works great, ready to cut the cord when the time comes - Works well for my needs. Connected to Computer monitor via HDMI cable and to TV with no digital tuner via coaxial cable. Tunes in great via antenna. I am only 11-miles from TV towers so good reception for where I am located. When DISH satellite service goes out, usually when it rains hard and windy, this allows us to watch Over the Air Digital Signal Free TV no problem. When I can no longer afford DISH $153 per month, URRRRGH!! I'll have free TV in all rooms! \o/

## 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.
