Not Worth the Headache

Through trial and error, I found that this external TV tuner was more trouble than it was worth... While it did provide a decent picture quality to my computer, it required constant tinkering and troubleshooting to get it to work properly. Computers are supposed to make our lives easier, not add TO our frustration. save yourself the hassle and go with a different product in this category..

Pros
  • Decent picture quality
Cons
  • Requires constant tinkering and troubleshooting

Works very well! in Computers and Accessories

This thing rules the sky. at least in L-band. The first night I had it but not the QFH antenna so I connected it to a simple cheap aluminum segment antenna. Yes! It's an amazing little device, the L-Band lives for it. highlighted.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Secret
