For a box that is a glorified HDTV to standard TV converter, it is well worth the cost. It also has a standard TV (NTSC – National TV Standards Committee, the old analog TV) channel 3 output. On top of that, it records in full ATSC HDTV and has an HDMI output, as well as a few other video output options. The iView 3500STB seems to be priced at about the level of some of the more advanced HDTV to NTSC converters for your old TVs, yet it is also a DVR when you add a hard drive (up to 3 TB now). I want to replace the DISH DVR with the iView DVR so that when we cut the DISH cord, we’ll still be able to record the OTA shows we like to watch.īefore I start, let me say something about this box. (That’s another story perhaps for some other time.)Īfter answering that question, I went on to my next task. This didn’t stop me from getting those shows off the DISH DVR but I could not use the iView to do it. The iView can only record from cable NTSC and/or over-the-air ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) signals, what we now call DTV. This didn’t work because the iView-3500STB could not see the NTSC (National TV Standards Committee), the old-style TV signal that the DISH DVR put out to my second TV. I was hoping to be able to dump shows from my DISH DVR onto another HD, perhaps using the iView to record the shows playing on the DISH DVR. I won’t duplicate everything but rather simply go through the things I wanted to try and do, along with my impressions, successes, and failures. Also, if you go to the above review by videobruce you’ll notice that many of the images used here have been taken from his review, with his kind permission. SolidSignal is now selling the iView 3500STBII and slightly improved version with a better remote control. There have been reviews in other places about this Tuner/DVR. One of the most complete I’ve come across is on iView-3500STB Tuner & DVR Owners Thread This review was for the original iView 3500STB and is by videobruce.
