Hi all, I just picked up a 7000 MicroPVR for very cheap without really understanding what it is.

My hope was that it would let me turn digital over the air channels into a video signal my old 1980s Zenith can use. Given it has RF, composite and S-Video outputs, I was optimistic. My thought was the MicroPVR would tune to the channels itself and then output just a video signal on channel 3.

I set it up with a cheap Ollies indoor antenna in the RF in, and then hooked up to the RF on the TV, for now. I get the menu to pop up, but I'm basically lost from there. It only seems to have options for satellite channel scanning, and I have no idea what to do with that (and I suspect my silly little Ollie's antenna isn't equipped to get those channels anyway).

So my questions are:

1. Can this device receive basic RF channels and spit them out for my TV? If so, what am I missing?
2. How could I get the most out of this device? Is it worth getting something to pick up satellite channels? I'm not looking to pay for a service, this would be aiming at free channels (TV or radio).
3. [Minor] The remote it came with is nice, but I cannot seem to find Panasonic in the VCRs...seems odd as they do have them listed for DVD players, and they have been a major brand forever. Does anyone know if this can connect to a Panasonic PV-9450?
