This product does NOT Work with TIVO and cable company such as Comcast, DirecTV, DISH Network, Time Warner Cable, etc. In general, this product does NOT work with encrypted cable signal Review: This product is compatible with the Vizio Chromecast Television. - I am one of the few people that purchased the Vizio Chromecast TV's which were only in stores for one year. It is basically a computer monitor with a built in ROKU. You will need this product if you have the same TV and want to add local channels. It allows you to convert coaxial to HDMI. It worked perfectly. I did purchase a HDMI cable separately just to be sure. The channel quality is decent on some channels, better on others. Since I don't have cable I just wanted to make sure I am able to still see the news if my internet goes out. (This has happened multiple times). Overall, good product. Review: Meets expectations. - This was purchased as a gift for my mom. She uses an antenna to get local stations over the air and we live in an area that is transitioning to ATSC 3.0 which her current television has a tuner for. Unfortunately, stations in the area are implementing DRM on the broadcasts that block shows and live sports. The area still broadcasts ATSC 1.0 for these stations, so this tuner is meant to provide access to stations that currently are not supported on the newer tuner. This box meets expectations for the price. The digital picture looks good on the TV and the installation was straight forward. It found the local stations with no issue with just an indoor antenna. The remote control buttons are sometimes not as responsive as I would like. Because of this, I gave this 4 stars. It meets my expectations, but does not exceed them. ## Features - Receive Over-The-Air ATSC Digital Broadcast to your Analog and Digital TV, Projector, and Computer Monitor. - TV Tuner Function, and USB Multimedia Function to play back Video, Music, Photo from USB drive. - HDMI 1080P Output / Composite Out / Coaxial Output - No LED Light display channel on the front - Mediasonic goal is to provide 100% satisfaction guarantee for Mediasonic product.

There is a UHF/VHF converter adapter that allows you to plug in coax cable. If this box allows coax out to the TV you can use the adapter. Look for the adapter on here. It only costs a few dollars. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BW9YS4Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_BNQ4YYFY6EFFWZV7Y0CH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 **Q: Does the converter box help pick up tv station's.** A: I bought the converter box because my TV is twenty years old and is not capable of picking up a digital signal. The converter box with an ANTENNA makes it possible for me to get the over the air free stations. If you have a newer TV the digital converter is built in the TV set and you should not need the converter box. All you will need is an antenna. **Q: My tv is tc-p50ut50 i don't know if i need ?it, could you please check it** A: just try it, this will receive digital transmitted TV signals **Q: The power cord / adapter has failed on 2 of 3 units I have purchased. I need replacement cords but where di I get them?** A: Should be able to get them on Amazon. Otherwise, I don’t know. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This product is compatible with the Vizio Chromecast Television. *by F***E on January 30, 2024* I am one of the few people that purchased the Vizio Chromecast TV's which were only in stores for one year.

Would not even turn on. But by then Amazon’s return policy had passed. So I had to either take the L on this or try contacting the manufacturer which I did. Surprisingly the manufacturer’s support team immediately responded and shipped me a replacement that same day. The usually frustrating process was almost as effortlessly as it was expeditiously. This is what great customer service looks and feels like. Now they have a customer for life. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mediasonic ATSC Digital Converter Box with TV Tuner Function (HW130RN) - Philips LTE Filter for TV Antenna, Filters 4G 5G LTE Signal to Reduce Interference and Pixilation for Clear Digital HD TV Reception, Frequency Range 5-608 MHz, Indoor Outdoor Installation, SDW1520/27 - HIDB TV Antenna for Smart TV Indoor, Digital Indoor HD Antennas with Strong Magnetic Base, Easy Installation, Long Range Reception for Local Channels 4K 1080P, 10ft Long Cables (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/174527885-hw130rn](https://www.desertcart.be/products/174527885-hw130rn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
