As Advertised - Internal TV Tuner and Capture Cards

I wanted to receive over-the-air TV on my laptop and I chose this product based on the reviews and because I like the dual tuner option ie. receive two channels at the same time. The USB 2.0 connection is a bit disappointing however there are not many alternatives to this product in the US with extensive reviews and based on the reviews I made my final decision to purchase this product. Luckily, it has lived up to its reviews, advertised specs, and performance so far. Installation is easy enough, although the remote is a little buggy and has a lag that takes some getting used to, but it seems to work. The small antenna worked just as well as the leaf antenna plugged into the Vizio TV right next to the laptop. I put ABC on my TV and CBS and NBC on my laptop and watched all three at the same time, then turned off that set and got ready to go. I have not attempted to record or review the software features and program guide. I'm interested in the reception, so I connected a flat antenna from the TV to the device and saw that there was no better reception difference than the small antenna supplied, and that was enough for me. I am running this on a Lenovo T460 i7-6600U quad core with 16GB RAM and Win 10 Pro 64bit OS.
