ZJBOX Digital Converter Box 1080P ATSC TV Tuner

This miniature 2024 ZJBOX tuner turns over-the-air or cable ATSC signals into high-definition TV output and doubles as a media center. It supplies HDMI, component, and 3RCA outputs, includes power and video cables, and supports recording to external drives so you can save programs for later. The unit’s small footprint and USB power make it easy to mount behind a flat screen or place near a set-top area.

How will this converter box fit my current TV setup?

The ZJBOX supports HDMI for modern HDTVs plus 3RCA and component outputs for older displays, so it works with most TVs, projectors, and monitors. The package includes an HDMI cable and 3RCA cable, reducing extra purchases. Note that output resolution follows the capabilities of the connected display.

Can I record live TV and schedule recordings?

Yes — the device includes DVR functionality for recording live broadcasts to a connected external drive. You can set instant or timed recordings via the electronic program guide and store shows on compatible USB drives or hard disks. For best reliability, use FAT32-formatted drives up to recommended capacities.

• Supports external drives (best with FAT32 up to 4TB for HDDs)

What remote and control features does it offer?

The included two-in-one infrared remote can be programmed to control both the ZJBOX and your TV, reducing clutter on your coffee table. It supports a learning function and four programmable buttons for basic TV commands, though AAA batteries are required and not included. Pairing is a simple setup step before first use.

Which media formats and playback features are supported?

Beyond live TV and DVR functions, the ZJBOX serves as a local media player for common video, audio, and image formats from a USB drive. It recognizes MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, MP3, JPG and more, turning the tuner into a lightweight media hub for movies, music and slideshows. Closed captions and channel favorites are also supported for a smoother viewing experience.
