cool if I had known there was going to be an ATSC version I would have waited to test this one. I only heard rumours and decided to buy the normal version which was available here.

Do you have pictures of the EPG on ATSC channels? Almost every ATSC channel carries EPG nowadays, but if the EPG is as poor as in the FreeSat v7 it will be a pain.

Thanks, it will be the same EPG as in the v7 then, showing only one channel at a time of EPG which doesn't help much when trying to see what is on in other channels because as soon as you move to a different channel in the EPG it will zap to that other channel.

My guess is that it will work as fine as any other ATSC converter. I would buy one locally but the FreeSat v7 ATSC combo is being sold at almost 70 dlls here in México.

Tested, good quality in materials, indeed it's the same as v7 max but now with atsc tuner, just forget add a rf output . For the side od db.bin sorry to say that NOT the same as max or v7hd, need improvement in that.

A friend bought it and says that he is very happy with the ATSC side of it, has very nice sensibility and could pick up a couple of channels that his Magnavox ATSC converter couldn't pick up due to a weak signal issue (but that his Samsung LED tv could pick up).

Glad to see this new arrival for American customers. Thought the new items are V8 based and this one is V7 ?

Hoping to see some upgrades in the EPG as some of the converter boxes stored programming from the different channels and guide could show different channels and 3 or 4 hours on one place.

Was about to purchase another V8 but this may be my next one.

If you already have converter boxes with good EPG you might as well stick with those, the v7 ATSC combo has the same EPG as the regular v7 HD in that it only shows one channel's EPG, not a friendly box for those who want to check what's on right now on other channels while still tuned to a channel, because as you know if you hit the EPG button and move in the channel list, the box will tune in to that other channel. Then again, it is a good box overall and at more or less the same price as an ATSC converter box.

Was hoping to see a few more reviews by now. One person suggested its tuner gets some weak channels and that is promising. And maybe upgrades in software could store multiple channels in guide without having to tune in one by one.

Same thing I was told. If it is as good to pick up weak signals as it is in DVB-S/DVB-S2 it is a very good option.

I bought a couple of these hoping for the best. They seem to get same amount of sat channels as my V8 golden.

OTA channels however are a disappointment. with same antenna, my LG and Samsung TVs find about 1/3 more channels than these boxes. So their tuner is not very sensitive.
