Best TV Tuner EVER!

"This TV tuner is the first of its kind. It's a external TV tuner that feeds the TV signal into your home network so you can watch TV on any PC. It comes with two tuners, one can be used for your OTA antenna (ATSC) and the other with your digital cable (ClearQAM). You can record on one and watch on the other. But to get this thing running smoothly, you'll need: - Fast, broadband connection (Cable or DSL) - Might ..." Read Full Review »

5.0

"This is a great product. I bought the first one over a year ago to give it a try. Back when I bought it, it was not the most mature product, meaning you had to tweak a lot of things to get it working with Vista Media Center, but once it was setup, it was ROCK solid. Since that time, the company has …" Read Full Review »
