There's also several you can get at Walmart, one by RCA is pretty much the same as the mediasonic one and they tend to hover around $30 to $40.  You program them sort of like a VCR where you can chose the start and end time and days to record.  Pretty simple stuff once setup.

Picks up more stations than the Channel Master, hooked to the same roof mount antenna, booster and splitter.
