> At $75, seems too cheap.

Actually you'd be paying a premium over other versions of this unit, such as the iView 3500STB and Homeworx HW-150PVR. Beware that the prices fluctuate at Amazon; one day the iView was at $62, and a week later it was $49. Another week goes by, and today it's at $38.
But for the price premium, MCM does offer a 30-day complete satisfaction guarantee.


As a digital TV tuner you shouldn't have any issues, but users report an assortment of scheduling and menu-navigation bugs when trying to use the recording capability. There's a long thread for the iView unit at AVSforums.com.

These units seem to use the same system hardware (power supply and main board). But the enclosure, the remote control and firmware may be different. The iView and Homeworx units seemed to have started out with a common set of bugs, but correction of these issues and firmware updates seem to be on independent schedules.
