Mediasonic HW130STB Review

As a professional product reviewer, I have had the opportunity to review many products in the past. Today, I will be talking about a new product, the Mediasonic HW130STB. This device is designed to receive over the air digital broadcast and send it to analog and digital TVs, projectors, and computer monitors. It has a range of features that make it stand out from other similar products.

The Mediasonic HW130STB is easy to set up and use. It comes with an antenna input so that you can easily connect it to your TV or projector. The device also has both HDMI and composite outputs which allow you to connect it to your TV or projector without any issues. The remote control makes it easy to navigate through menus and settings as well as change channels if needed.

The Mediasonic HW130STB also has an antenna out analog pass through which allows you to watch your favorite shows with ease. It also has a favorite channel list so you can easily access the channels that you prefer watching most often. Additionally, there s a parental control function so you can restrict what content your children view on their devices.

The device also comes with real time recording and programed time recording functions so you can record your favorite shows or movies onto a USB 2.0 or 3.0 external hard drive up to 2TB . This is great for those who want to watch their recordings on the go or save them for later watching at home.

In terms of picture quality, the Mediasonic HW130STB produces good quality images that are sharp and clear when watching over the air channels in HD format. However, note that this product doesn t work with encrypted cable signals such as those provided by TIVO or cable companies like Comcast, DirecTV, DISH Network, etc., so make sure that s not what you re looking for before purchasing this device.

Overall, I would recommend the Mediasonic HW130STB for anyone looking for an easy way to access over the air digital broadcast on their TVs, projectors or computer monitors without having to invest in expensive hardware upgrades or pay high subscription fees associated with cable services. The device is easy to install and use, provides good picture quality when used properly, and offers features like real time recording and parental control which makes it great for families looking for an affordable solution for enjoying digital broadcast content at home.
