The ZJBOX Digital TV Converter Box receives over-the-air ATSC broadcasts and delivers full-HD 1080p output to analog or digital displays while offering USB recording, playback and timer functions.

If you want free local TV without a cable subscription, this compact ATSC tuner converts antenna signals into HDMI or composite video for HDTVs, projectors and monitors. It supports program recording to external USB drives, plays multimedia files, and provides handy features like channel favorites, parental controls and timed power on/off. The unit requires an external antenna and does not amplify signals—reception quality depends on your antenna and local broadcast strength.

How does the converter box connect to my TV and antenna?

Set up is straightforward: attach an external antenna to the RF input, then connect the box to your display with the included HDMI or composite cable. The box auto-tunes available channels and outputs up to 1080p resolution to compatible screens.
