I suppose the 180 is a newer, cost-reduced version of the 150 and will eventually replace it. I'm not sure if that is an issue with the schedule as published bythe station or a bug in the 180STB's software. But if I schedule multiple non-contiguous events on different channels, so far I've only succeeded in capturing the first one.Īlso sometimes the recorded result seems to cut off the end of the show when I booked the event via EPG. When I schedule multiple contiguous events on one sub channel it seems to work ok. The box is certainly worth $35 and I'm generally happy with it, but I wish the PVR function was more reliable. It still has three outputs: HDMI, composite, and RF. Mine is software version 11:31:12 and hardware version : MLG-7802-ATSC-V8.0. I also bought mine from Amazon in the same time frame that you did.

External Antenna is required in order to receive signal.Note: there seem to be two versions of the 180, the one I have (purchased a week ago from Amazon) has the software revision 11:31:15-v2.0 and the front of the box says 'Recording the program that you want'. This Box is NOT a replacement of a cable company's box. In general, this product does NOT work with encrypted cable signal. This product does NOT work with TIVO and cable company such as Comcast, DirecTV, DISH Network, Time Warner Cable, Shaw Cable, etc.
