I've been using the Cloner Box Pro for about 4 months now. At first, I had problems with the DVR corrupting SD cards to the point they could not be reformatted. Since I started using (cheap) TeamGroup 32 GB SD's I haven't had any problems at all. The Cloner Box seems to be similar in features to the Orby DVR (maybe even less features than the Orby). The CBP can store only one programmed event, no time shifting, slow to react to commands when trying to do playback, no 30 second jump ahead, it records in segments - not continuously and the labeling of the segments makes no sense at all. The CBP has a USB port. (To use SD cards, you need an adapter and not all adapters work (IOGEARs work).
Still, with all the limitations, I'm happy with the performance. The recorded picture quality is excellent! I couldn't watch any of the Orby channels without recording them first to the DVR - just too many terrible commercials. The CBP DVR also works with FTA satellite, Roku, and VCRs.
I guess this is not a recommendation, but more of a warning.
