I had been looking for a small TV for my kitchen to watch TV while I'm preparing meals and googled information about converting laptops into a TV and found information on this device. I love it. No need for an additional TV.

This is a really cool gadget. It allows you to use your computer as an HD Television Tuner with record feature.I did have a few problems getting the drivers to download and install properly but after 3 attempts at download it all started working. Would be great for someone that has limited space such as a dorm room.

Simple solution for TIVO replacement

I plugged this in, installed the drivers, and started using it on my Windows 7 laptop. Did the same on my Vista desktop but also needed to download the Vista drivers for it to work. I use the tuner along with a portable 2 TB drive to replace my TIVO. I travel in my RV so this arrangement will be able to go with me very easily.

I have purchased Hauppauge Digital TV products for many years now for my desktop PCs. This product not only let me watch my favorite Over The Air HD TV shows on my laptop, it also has an FM tuner that lets me listen to my favorite radio stations.

Windows 10 took away Media Center and using the onboard OTA TV tuner I had on this computer, Third party program was a pain to use. This was easier and worked great. If you are further than 20 miles from a station transmitter you will want a nicer antenna.

This is a great way to record digital cable TV signal directly to my computer without having to use a television or VCR. Didn't install the software - using Windows 7 Media Center instead. I may try installing the software because Media Center is a little tricky to figure out how to use - but that is not the fault of the device. I love the compact size of the device and that it just plugs right in to the USB port on the computer. I do wish it came with a longer cable though.

I bought this to record soccer matches during the world cup. It worked fine. It was a hassle to set up first but once this step was done it worked like a charm. It takes a long time to acquire all the tv signals.

Great little tuner. Works great for me. I use it to pass the time when not driving a fuel truck during the summer. I spend a lot of time in the truck not driving and this really helps.

TV for every computer; TV guide not great

So, I like watching live broadcast TV on my laptop, but the Titan TV guide is not great, but better than nothing. It runs slowly, too slowly for me to use it. The actual device works well. Got it on a clearance deal for $40.

I bought this for thanks giving day and it returned it because the color on my monitor was very poor ( mostly excessively red). Channels it captured were also very different from what got captured on my regular tv antenna

I needed a way to record a program that included my wife. We had been having cable issues, so off the air was essential. The recorder installed easily and worked great.
