Works but I had to get a separate antenna
This device worked well for me. The software it came with was pretty straightforward. You do have to run a scan on the first setup. It comes with an antenna but it wasn't strong enough in my case. I had to purchase a separate indoor antenna. Once I had both setup, everything worked really well. I was getting 720p. This would probably work best if you use it with another program like Windows Media Center (if you have windows 7) or Media Portal. Definitely a great tool for cord cutters

Program is great. Antenna is not.
Used this to record a basketball game while we were away from home. The software was easy to use, the quality was good, and I couldn't be happier! I would definitely recommend this product. BUT when we tested it out at home, living about 25 miles from major downtown, some stations did not come in and some had breaks. We attached a better antenna and got more stations and fewer glitchy movements. Of minor note (and this could be user error), when recording, my hour long show showed up as 40 minutes long. But it was all there, it just took 10 real minutes for the bar to progress 5-6 minutes.

This thing really works good
This hardware records ATSC via an external antenna in high quality HD Video. This hardware also records QAM video from your cable company also in high definition, high quality. It wont record encrypted cable channels. NTSC analog video uses a software encoder that's not as good. ATSC and QAM video are recorded in a .TS format. This unit comes with Hauppauge own WINTV software that is very good and works with Windows. If you have an Apple computer you will have to purchase Eyetv from Elgato and the video is recorded in an .mpg format. For Windows computers you can also use Windows Media Center or download NPVR that is free and supported by independent developers. I have NPVR also installed and it works just as well. The unit comes with a tiny antenna but you will need to use a larger better quality external antenna if you want your video to come out. I have 3 of these tuners.
