In late 2015, I bought a HomeWorx HW-150 PVR, which allowed me to finally record over the air free broadcast tv again. It was a grand total of about $43, shipped. I like that you can start out recording to a USB flash drive, and add a USB hard drive later if you find that you need more recording space. I also like that there are absolutely no recurring fees of any kind.
The remote is designed with tiny buttons, and it has no program guide, but it works. The settings and O/S could use a bit of refining as well.
I'm wondering, now that it has been more than a year, if there is anything on the market for under a hundred bucks that has a better remote, and/or some sort of program guide?
My parents see that I can record over the air programs, but I hesitate to recommend this with the tiny, TINY buttons, since they are in their 70's. Truly, the VCR they were used to using had buttons for the regularly used functions that were 20 times as big as these buttons.
I did a quick search and didn't see any newer models, but that doesn't mean that they aren't out there somewhere. Thanks for any suggestions!
