3 of 5 Just Decent Thursday, October 30, 2008
A Customer from Kenmore, WA
I don't have cable so can only talk about ATSC. The tuner is decent, better reception than my 5-year old boxes but is not as good as one built-in in a newer Panasonic plasma. So there is nothing exceptional about it.
The plastic cover on my first one was not snapped together which made the electronics rattle on every slightest movement. I returned for a replacement. While the process seemed simple enough, the turn around time with Buy.com was way too long. They got the return unit but did not ship the replacement until 4 business days and one complaint letter later! Amazon does much better in this regard. The replacement looks ok. And yeah, they should include a USB extension with it. Unless I miss, I cannot seem to manually tune to some weak channels with TotalMedia. Closed caption does not seem to work, recording and time shifting are fine. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 No problem Tuesday, September 16, 2008
A Customer from Cave Creek, AZ
I was able to use new Buy.com Visa to get $30 off this item so the price was great that way. I had no problem installing and have been able to pick up 18 digital channels on my laptop. Sometimes on rescan the # of channels will be different (less) but that is an antenna issue not the tuner. I have a digital converter box connected to my regular tv and understand that it is very important to have antenna positioned properly to pick up the most stations. All in all I am happy with this product and am enjoying HD quality tv on my laptop. Would recommend! Was this review helpful?
1 of 5 i cannot reccomend this product Thursday, August 14, 2008
A Customer from detroit mich
This is the 2nd kworld tv tuner Ive purchased. this one is my first digital. It worked out the box, and one month later is dead. now I have to deal with chinese manufacturer to try and get it replaced. Its cheap, and you get what you pay for. Better luck to you if you try this one. Was this review helpful?

1 of 5 Needs better antenna Tuesday, August 05, 2008
A Customer from New Orleans, LA
The enclosed CD software includes a device driver that works fine with Vista Home, but the TV/DVR software is a total waste and doesn't work.
The product does work with Windows Media Center...but the signal you get with the skimpy antenna that topples over only gets one station. It needs a suction cup, magnet, or heavy metal weigh on the bottom. Kinda dissapointing on the signal strength since I live in a flat terrain suburban area within 20 miles of the TV transmitters.....I had to connect it to an external antenna to get it to work.
Finally, if you use Windows Media Center, you will probably need to go into the manual setup to get the subchannels, since Microsoft's software only uses the main (xx-1) channel in their online setup and program guide. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Works, but not the best Tuesday, August 05, 2008
Stephanie from Portland, OR
This thing is easy to use. Just pop it into your USB and follow the easy to use software instructions.
You'll probably need a minimum of 2gig of ram to run it smoothly. I have 1 gig, and it runs pretty well but it is choppy sometimes.
My biggest complaint is that I can't get it to record anything. They have you sign up with TitanTV which looks like it would interface really well if I could just get TitanTV to work in the tuner's software. i don't know if it's me or my system or what, but I can't get it open in my software and there I can't choose to record anything. I also can't seem to record live TV by just pushing record. That's the main reason I give this thing a less than stellar rating. Other than that it's great. It finds lots of channel and the picture is really clear when it's not choppy. Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 Doesn't work with my cable box Monday, August 04, 2008
A Customer from Overland Park, Kansas
It is easy to install but only works with over the air signal. I got 6 over the all channels, and most of them have reasonable good quality. However, it doesn't scan any signal when I connected it to my cable box, which is very disappointing. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Worked perfectly Monday, August 04, 2008
Larry Blackhurst from Orlando, FL
Setup instructions weren't as clear as they could have been, but once I figured it out, it worked beautifully. Found just about all the HDTV stations in my area and the display is great. Free subscription to Titan TV is a plus. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 It works ok. Sunday, August 03, 2008
Hmong from Westminster, CA
My first one, so don't really know how good it is compared to other manufacturers. It works ok, some channels cut in and out at times. Most channels work good though.
