Simple to use and set up
Purchased this dual tuner to compliment our streaming services after "cutting the cord". I'm using this USB tuner to record OTA broadcasts on an SFF I5 desktop computer with a D++ displayport that I bought from Ebay. If you try this make sure the computer's OS is Windows 7 pro. This OS version has Windows Media Center as a standard option. Download Hauppauge's WinTV v8.5 which has the drivers included. Allow the program to install the drivers and then it will stop and ask for a WinTV key, don't enter the key and just cancel the install. The drivers are installed but WinTV isn't. The winTV application is very poor compared to Windows Media Center. Just start Media Center and follow the set up, both tuners should be recognized, the local tv guide installed and the ability to watch and record. The video is great, channels change quickly. The only issue with WMC is that the recorded video file format is unique to WMC and will only play with WMC. There are free solutions though.

Unreliable
After a week struggling to get a reliable operation, I discover the poor quality of the connector of antenna was the problem. After the setting, I disconnected the antenna for store them. In the next assembly, the pin in the connector of the antenna sunk, avoiding a proper contact with the male antenna connector. A pliers and a drop of super glue at the bottom of the antenna pin glue solved the issue. The next was the continuous crashing, so, I updated the software. Actually, the tuner still remains crashing but less frequently. Another detail is you need internet access to install the software, if you are in the wild, forget it. I recommend this TV card as your last resource, better buy a small TV. The only advantage is that you can carry it in your pocket. The image quality is as good as your monitor, there is no complaint about it.

LOVE IT !!
I brought this one mainly to watch the TV on my computer. The recording function is very easy, and the quality is excellent. You could schedule it to record the TV show that you want to watch later, or you could record one and watch the other TV show. Because this device allows you to watch 2 TV SCREEN AS ONCE, which the best thing I like about it. Therefore, I use it every Sunday to watch 2 football games as once.
