Works just fine

This tuner works well on my win7 computer. This is the 3rd tuner I have purchased over the years. It has given me no problems.

working great

Included ant not the best but adequate if you live close to town - if not make sure you attach this to an amplified antenna or an outdoor roof antenna - you will pick up more stations that way - issue is not product related - this is just how RF...

working great use like TIVO pause commercials and then fast forward - awesome dont have to listen to overmodulated Bogus commercials of dudes with fake australian accents that want to sell me Soap

Antenna that comes with it picked up 3 channels - my homemade one picks up 5 - Included Ant could be better - minus one egg for this

very nice for HD TV for the laptop !!

This turner card works very well for the most part. The antenna that comes with it is sufficient, but most be put in good spot to receive the signal the best

The program has locked up the computer a couple of times

Better than expected

Using with Win7 home 64, not using included software or drivers, so no ideas on that. Would and will buy again!

Amazing reception, better than most of my regular TV's and antennae with stock antenna. With downloaded drivers works flawlessly with Windows media center! DVR functionality is awesome. It was the only thing missing from my HTPC

could use longer antenna cable, but I have a coax extension

KWorld Hybrid TV Stick UB445-U USB 2.0 Interface

this is a good tuner, it only takes up about 10% of my processor for software decoding, with an i series intel in a desktop machine built for pure gaming a 870 intel i7 if your wondering. the software that came with the tuner was garbage for me unless...

descent Analog as far as picture goes, hdtv ota channels come in clear, digital HD over cable is nice too. its small in the way that you can have it plugged into a USB hub away from your main pc so it doesnt weigh down the connection with the cable...

when i first got the unit i tried the software supplied with the tv tuner which is pure junk, and i can make almost anything work with a little effort...i was banging my head against the wall and all but gave up, decided to go to the website where yet...

Tuner is good but software problems

Complants about the antenna in other reviews of the base being to small...well it's a magnet, put it on metal. The antenna shaft could be longer. I put a longer shaft on the base from an old FM radio. Screw size at the base was the same size. Received...

The tuner works well. Included driver works with Windows 7 and works well with Windows Media Center

Arcsoft Totalmedia V3.5 software included will not run with Windows 7. Arcsoft support will not help. Check system spes at Artsoft

Works great!

It was a little pricey ($50 when I got it), but it works well and should hopefully work with my cable. I'd recommend it.

I got this primarily so that I could record video tapes from my video camera onto my computer. I have a camcorder that records onto 8 mm tapes and have never had a way to get them onto my computer. This device was better than any other TV tuner I've...

I haven't been able to make it work with my cable yet; it just shows black. It might not work with my type of cable, but I don't know what kind I have because I'm in college. Apparently it's analog from what I hear, but this device is supposed to work...
