OK for the price
Pros:
-Cheap
-Software works on my VISTA laptop
-Small (plugs into USB)
-Works OK
-Works on both NTSC and PAL formats, nice if you travel.
Cons:
-If you are not careful it would be easy to overtorque the USC connection if plugged directly into your computer due to weight of adaptor and cable/antenna connection. Best to use an USB extension cable to hook to your computer to avoid damage - especially laptops.
-HyperMedia software is clunky. No way to...

Easy way to get TV in your PC
I bought this device to allow my wife to watch TV in her office, perhaps while working on the computer, without needing a TV set. It turns out the device requires USB 2.0, and her machine has
USB 1.1, so it wouldn't work. I installed it on my machine, however, and it worked fine. Installation was easy, and I'm glad not to have to put a card in my machine. The only real problem I have is that the PIP size can't be changed, forcing me to change window sizes, if I want to work and watch at the...

Solid value for size and money...
I found this device amazing. It worked at first installation attempt and I could not believe my laptop turned out to be a TV. I would like to mention a couple of things though...
<br>-- This is a analog tuning device that tunes free to air channels and cable channels. The picture quality is directly proportional to the signal strength/quality available in your area.
<br>-- You need a double click on the picture frame to be able to view the picture full screen. This was simple but too...

FCC Digital Tuner Deadline
Tech Level: average
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: It allows you to view TV on your PC
Cons: It is an analog broadcast signal device, not digital.
Other Thoughts: The FCC relaxed its broadcast digital rollover date to February of 2009. At the moment, most major market broadcasters (in the USA) are concurrently offering DTV broadcasts and analog broadcasts. The date was relaxed because Big Box Retailers had failed ...

Hey, it works!
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Cheap and it works fine with our Dell E1705. No new drivers/software available for it I can find, but the stuff on the CD actually works pretty well. The instructions were simple and set-up was a breeze.
The picture isn't bad. Comparable to a decent PCI card easily, but not as nice as my ATi 550. It's as good as the PCI card it was replacing that my ...

Decent & useful features for less
I was always excited by the idea of watching live TV on my laptop. This was the cheapest and best option to fulfill that. The picture quality is good, but you have to be nearby your laptop to scroll channels etc. Well it is easy to install and use. No external power cords and no extra space requirements make it cool. Just plug in the USB cable, turn Hypermedia software and you are all set. If accidentally the USB cable is pulled out while TV is running, the laptop hangs. The driver CD that came ...

Doesn't seem to work
I bought this in the US and tried it in the UK. It did not pick up any TV channels. Channel 4 (the name only) appeared on the screen once, then disappeared. I would not recommend it.

Good for the price... I guess
The quality of the picture is ok if you want to watch live tv on your pc. But, if you want to record the video like I wanted to, the quality of the picture isn't the greatest. I was probably asking too much for a $40 product.

It was free and worth what I paid!
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Unit worked for about an hour
Cons: Unit worked for about an hour then burnt out. Glad this was a freebie! I will return for replacement to see if it happens again.
Other Thoughts: Although this was a bad product experience--NewEgg is always great on prices, service, quick ship times, etc.
