User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone have any issues with their recording schedules disappearing? Mine wiped all my schedules
Answer:	Ok I don't have this model but I have another model by same company (HW-150pvr) and it is dumping schedules too. I've had two units over 4 years and it's happened in the past but happening a lot more now. I'm on Amazon to find a replacement because this is unacceptable. I'm thinking Mediasonic is to be avoided.
Question:	Hi folks what external hard drive do you use with this? Thanks lynn
Answer:	I used a 500GB salvaged out of an old laptop that was totally dead. I ordered a cheap $7.99 ORICO USB3.0 to SATA III 2.5" External Hard Drive Enclosure from Amazon as well to mount it in. Worked perfectly. I've also used a cheap (free) 32GB USB thumb drive that I didn't have any problem with. Got that thumb drive free from a Microcenter computer store.
Question:	Es japones - *brasileño
Answer:	Hecho en Canada
Question:	Can you program the remote to control your TV
Answer:	Read the manual friend. The remote does control (it can, in the settings) the TV.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it hold a Direct TV satellight box with easy
Answer:	It will. Make sure that the platform is at the right angle on top of the TV.
Question:	Can this be installed on a tv already mounted on the wall
Answer:	I don't think so, because it needs some space behind the TV for the panel to fit on which you place equipment (like camera etc.) So the answer is, it could fit in theory, but you need at least 5 inches of free space between the tv and the wall like in the picture.
Question:	Does this fit on a Peloton screen
Answer:	It will fit but it is not snapped on the screen it just rests there. It holds a clock on our tv.
Question:	Do the joints screws on the side tighten the arms? Mine won't budge and i don't want anything to fall and break
Answer:	Mine tightens at the screws and it does not budge.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a smart tv with the antanna conection broken off the back. Can I use this for my (antenna in) and (hdmi out) to the tv
Answer:	This will output over HDMI, yes. My TV doesn't have a built in tuner, and therefore has no coaxial input. I output to the television over HDMI without issue.
Question:	does a hard drive have to be fat32. How do you do this with a hard drive
Answer:	Can not get it to recognize NTFS via USB. Have a 2019 firmware on the device (bought is 2019) and still will not recognize NTFS. Worse than that it will not recognize a FAT32 drive formatted. Can see a small FAT32 (less than 32GB) but that is it.
Question:	Does this box work with Comcast
Answer:	It "might" work on Comcast cable for Comcast's basic cable package, which is their first few analog channels. These are normally unscrambled/non-encrypted channels. You can test to see if you have that available on your Comcast cable, by plugging the coax cable directly into a TV (with a tuner) and see if you are getting any of the starting basic cable channels. Or call your cable provider and ask them if their very basic cable package offers unencrypted channels. When using this box on a cable system, you must change it to in the setup menu. This box will only pick up any non-encrypted, non-scrambled analog cable channels.
Question:	Can this do analog cable tv
Answer:	The ViewTV AT-300 --WILL-- handle non-scrambled, non-encrypted analog cable channels. That is, those basic cable channels that are on most cable systems that do not require a box from the cable company in order for your TV to receive these basic analog cable channels. The "box" that the cable company provides, are for those scrambled/encrypted cable channels that do require the cable box with a CableCard in order to receive these. The scrambled/encrypted cable channels are those of the upper tier packages that most cable providers offer, in addition to the hand full of basic (analog) cable channels. When using the AT-300 for basic, unscrambled, unencrypted analog channels, you must setup the unit for "CABLE" in the setup menu, rather then for "AIR" which is for OTA (over-the-air) broadcasts. However, this unit will not do BOTH OTA and CABLE at the same time though, (its either one or the other) but you can purchase a second unit for both your basic cable and your OTA, if you have multiple inputs on your TV (i.e. coax input and 1 or more HDMI inputs, or multiple HDMI inputs, etc.)

• Hide all your TV cables behind the wall. Power 2 devices with the dual outlet, plus hide 3 low voltage cables in the brush pass-through.
• Comes with everything you need for a quick & clean install, no wiring required. Show your wall who's boss with the included wall template & drywall saw.
• Do you have weird plugs? Don't feel bad. The dual top outlet has plenty of space to fit awkwardly shaped power plugs. Power your wall mounted TV & streaming device all in one location.
• Use the brush plate pass-through to hide your HDMI, ethernet, and audio cables. Unique cable catching design means your wall won't eat your cables, although they do look delicious.
• What didn't we think of? Includes a 6ft extension cord with a low profile plug to power the whole kit. Using an outlet further away? Any normal 3-prong extension cord will work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do both pass throughs have a good enough seal to prevent AC air leaks into the walls for small equipment rooms where cooling is critical
Answer:	No. The bottom passthrough is 100% open air (just a scoop turned upward. The upper passthrough has a thick plastic fiber bushing, but isn't going to stop air leakage
Question:	How can i soundproof the holes? Do i just cut a porthole into my expensive soundproof walls to run cables
Answer:	The installation requires free-dropping cables between the upper and lower boxes, which is going to be complicated by any soundproofing that you have in the wall. You might be able to use puddy pads etc or pack in some acoustic batts to help preserve the soundproofing around the boxes themselves but this product is definitely geared more toward a standard consumer-level install.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a single plug or two plugs? The pictures show two but comments say one
Answer:	The one I received in 4/2017 had a single plug (although a duplex plug was pictured). Very disappointed.
Question:	Can i connect power directly to the piece behind the tv or do you need to have both boxes
Answer:	Yes, you can connect to the connector behind the tv but you need the box below to get power from the wall outlet. You get special cable with the kit that runs between y two boxes. Great system!
Question:	Is it a 15amp or 20 amp receptacle
Answer:	It is a 15 amp, 125V receptacle.
Question:	Can the receptacle be replaced with a Cooper surge receptacle (3.28" H x 1.31" W x 1.13" D
Answer:	The outlet that was included is a standard size receptacle. As long as the cooper outlet is same size too I would say to my knowledge that yea you could use it. The outlet box from Arlington still had additional room for a slightly deeper outlet. I am not an expert in this area and this is only my opinion.
Question:	Boot questions I get 29 channels won't go to channels, just back to stat over and says Boot
Answer:	This could be one of two reasons. One is that the included antenna is not strong enough to receive signals in your location so you might have to purchase a stronger antenna to receive channels. Two, your location. You might not have signals at all. I recommend that you go to antennaweb.org, type in your address to see if there are channels in your area and what type of antenna is required to get those channels. On that site, the included antenna is represented in yellow. If you have further questions, send us an email from your Amazon account so we can further assist you with this.
Question:	Can hdtv antenna, coaxial cable connect to the box and then use the hdmi out to send signal to hdtv
Answer:	with an hdtv you only need an antenna. You don't need the converter box.
Question:	is this converter compatible with a 1 tb external seagate drive
Answer:	Don't know what a drag ate drive is ???
Question:	Will this work on a 2006 Plasma tv
Answer:	I do not have plasma, but i do not see that -- that would make any difference, as long as the box is working and changes the digital to analog--and if this tv is a 2006, i would think that it has a digital ready input?? If so u do not need a converter box, just a good antenna and maybe a signal amplifier. If it does not have a digital input u would need the box and it should work fine. I use a converter box thru a vcr recorder, just so i can record on vcr tapes--otherwise i would not need one,cause i have digital ready input, which i use if not recording on vcr tape.

User questions & answers

Question:	FOX in my area is channel 4 and even with converter box set on channel 3, I still get no reception on channel 4, is this usual
Answer:	I am not sure this is the answer however my local FOX is also channel 4. After scanning the local stations available none of them actually display on the box as the local channel number. As example I can enter the actual channel (Channel 4 ) on the remote and it will display as channel 1 on the box but will actually be the correct channel on the TV to watch. I just enter the actual number on the remote. Hope this helped.
Question:	Can you hook up a security camera
Answer:	The iView 3300STB in TV converter box that record TV program only. Not security camera recorder.
Question:	When this device records a show, what format does it record in? avi? mp
Answer:	The iView 3300STB record TV show in .MP4 format which is same format on other converter box.
Question:	So you don't need an antenna with this for local channels? You are also able to connect directly to a projector
Answer:	Antenna required for local channels. This receiver seems to be latest generation. The auto detect found 48 channels, where the old receiver found only about 20. The user interface is also greatly improved. If your projector has HDMI input then you are good to go.

Product features

How It Works

The iView 3300STB works by acquiring digital channels coming from ATSC, Over-the-Air, or ClearQAM, unencrypted digital cable transmission. The HD content that comes out allows users to receive unscrambled digital cable signals with the use of a monthly cable provider.

From Analog to Digital

The iView Digital Converter box automatically converts the signal to be compatible with your analog unit. Analog TV owners won't need to get themselves a new TV if they don't want to.

The iView 3300STB has built-in QAM capabilities that allow you to watch unscrambled, unencrypted cable channels and supports Over-the-Air (OTA), which allows the user to receive some unencrypted digital cable channels, also known as "in-the-clear" channels.

Our iView 3300STB has a 3/4 channel switch you can toggle in the back to access analog channels in countries and areas where analog signals are still present. Broadcasting is still alive and well, even in your old TV.

ATSC and QAM Capabilities

OTA (Over-the-Air)

The iView Digital Box works great in ATSC, otherwise known as over-the-air or local channels. Once plugged in, the 3300STB gives you a wider range of channels you can view, with noticeably higher picture clarity. Just connect to your antenna line, scan for channels, and you're ready to go.

QAM Capability

The iView 3300STB comes with QAM, or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, capability, a format that most cable companies use to transmit and encode their signals.

Our converter boxes are able to pick up ClearQAM channels with a monthly cable provider that offers unscrambled, unencrypted cable.

Watch local OTA channels, unscrambled digital programming and possibly some bonus channels (depending on your location). HD and SD channels become unlocked the moment you plug and successfully setup the iView 3300STB in.

Universal Media Player

The iView 3300STB can act as a universal media player to play videos and music.

To use the media player functions, it is required to connect a USB Flash Drive or External Hard Drive to the box. The drive needs to be no bigger than 4TB in size and formatted to Fat32 or NTFS.

If the storage device has any media already saved on it, those media files can be played on the Iview Box. Selecting “Pictures” will display a slide show of any pictures in JPG, BMP, or PNG format. Selecting “Music” will turn the device into a music player. This music player can play any music files in WMA, MP3, or AAC format. The final option, “Video” will allow playback of any videos in AVI, MKV, MPG, and MKV formats. During video playback, you can press the green SCHD button, on the remote, to cycle between preview and full-screen modes.

DVR Capabilities

Record digital content while you're away with the iView 3300STB.

Connect the box to a USB Flash Drive or External Hard Drive to start recording with DVR. Plug your external drive and record movies and shows to playback later straight to your device.

The DVR function can be done two ways: A recording can start and stop using the red REC and STOP buttons on the remote, respectively, allowing for impromptu recordings at any time. The device can also schedule recordings. From there, the channel, start time, and end time can be set and the box will automatically record and end at the scheduled times. This can also be set to record daily (every day, including weekends), weekly (once a week), or just once. However, the box’s recording functions are limited to one at a time and can only have no more than 30 scheduled recording jobs saved onto the box’s memory.
