Review on Enhance Your TV Experience with Hauppauge 1657 WinTV-dualHD Cordcutter Dual USB 2.0 TV Tuner: Perfect for Nvidia Shield and Windows PC by Keith Barra

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Too contradictory to be reliable.

Inconsistent behavior when used with NVIDIA Shield TV, ClearStream ECLIPSE® Amplified HDTV Internal Antenna, and Plex. Although the box says it's a Windows PC and Shield TV, you must have a Windows PC to install the software to be able to scan channels and there is no software included for the Shield. The transparency and thickness of the remote doesn't matter as it's only intended for use on Windows, not the Shield, so I didn't. It is not required or used. Each time you move the antenna, you must disconnect the USB cable from the shield and reconnect it to the Windows PC to scan again. Simple PITAs depending on the availability of the Shield and your Windows PC. Using my Windows laptop made this a little easier. YMMV depending on your location. I'm on a hill near I-20 and 287 between Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas.

Pros
  • Crossing my fingers
Cons
