Gotta say, this little thing surprised me. I'm using it in my Windows 8 media center box and it's been extremely reliable. PQ is great and it's actually performing better than my HDHomeRun box! It changes channels quicker and seems to have a more sensitive tuner. Only thing that concerns me is how hot the tuner and demod chips run. I mean, most ATSC tuners run hot, but they usually have a nice big PCB to dump heat into. The PCB in this thing is so small there's no real place for heat to go. So I wonder how long it'll last... I may slap some tiny heatsinks on the two chips just to be on the safe side.

On an XP or Vista machine, put the CD in the drive and it will load the software [be patient] . Wait till finished then insert the TV stick. On Win 7 and 8: 1. DO NOT PLUG IN THE STICK YET. 2. The proper drivers MUST be installed as the first step. 3. If your CD is marked A680B(W7) the Win7 32-bit and 64-bit drivers are on the CD in the Driver folder. Or download them. Identify system type by going into All Programs/Accessories/System tools/System Information or run DXDIAG and look for X64 (64-bit) or X86 (32-bit). Install the appropriate driver. 4. You can use either the Total Media S/W on the disk or Windows Media Center (standard on W7, optional on W8). If using the TotalMedia S/W then install it from Setup inside the TotalMedia folder on the CD. 5. Open the TV IR folder on the CD and run its Setup file. Leave CD in drive. 6. Insert the TV stick. 7. Remove paper barrier sticking out of remote. The remote must be pointed toward the red power LED for the remote to work.

The first one i got had a defective remote did not work at all. The antenna is horrible unable to get any signal even outside so i bought one from Walmart for 20.00 but went to Meritline.com warehouse and had it exchanged for a new one and now the remote works and i get 72 channels using win 7 media center picture quality is awesome very very clear. i'm planning to buy another one for my net-book and buy another antenna from Walmart. I give it 4 stars for 2 reasons shipping package was just in an envelope and the defective remove.. it actually deserves a 5 star.. This i can recommend just because i love to buy things and try them out..

This item works beautifully in Windows 8 Media Center for off-the-air TV channels. I had a bit of trouble getting the drivers installed, but I had previously installed another tuner from a different computer and when I installed the A680B tuner, I failed to uninstall the drivers from the previous tuner as Meritline recommends. When the other tuner was uninstalled and the drivers deleted, this tuner installed without a hitch. I am as pleased with this one as the other Mygica tuner I've had for a few years.

I purchased this because it was suppose to support QAM-256 unencrypted cable signals. I am using win7. Pros: The card will pickup ATSC over the air channels and a few cable TV channels. The audio and video quality playback is good... (when it decodes a signal). Cons: I only able to pickup a few channels on the FIOS cable system in Dallas. This same cable outlet will deliver many unencrypted channels on my standalone TVs. I also did tried adding an amplifier cable jack output (in front of the A680B USB Tuner) So far none of the drivers or suggestions from technical support have helped the problem. Has anyone had any luck at getting any of these Geniatech tuners working on the FIOS cable QAM-256 system?

I'm surprised how well this thing works. I hooked it up to a small dual-core Acer netbook. and it was able to record and playback HD OTA program just fine. Software needs a little finesse. Having to rearrange acquired stations is a real pain. An option to play the program in a stand alone, resizeable window would be nice. As usual, the included portable antenna is for emergencies only. If you want a good reception, use a real outdoor antenna. Overall, you can't complain about the quality of capture or display especially for the price.

Installed easily on a Windows Xp professional box; Was pleasantly surprised at how clear the picture was (this is also dependent on the computer you're running). Just be forewarned: it does get hot. So if you're using this as a tuner for a HTPC make sure you have plenty of air circulation for it. Cons- The included antenna won't pickup much: buy one or make your own to get better reception; The remote only works if you have an IR receiver on the computer

Bought this 8/10/2010 - works as advertised, but no real software updates and slow to switch channels effectively. NOT MCE compatible (I've tried every driver combination to try to get it to work on Windows XP, Vista and 7 as a recognized tuner within Microsoft's MediaCenter software - and it will be recognized.) If you want a digital-only tuner to watch TV - GREAT :: DVR functionality? Yeah, it's there, but don't expect TiVo-type full integration.

Works very well with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit/ Windows Media Center using a home-made HD antenna.

Works great out of the box. Plugged it in and Windows Media Center found it, spent a few minutes scanning for channels and I was done. Now, you must remember that the antenna you use is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of this. The included antenna is crap and I got nothing when first using it. I had bought one of the "flat panel" type antennas and just hooked it up to my TV. I got virtually nothing in reception. I had to move the antenna up into the attic and then all the major local channels came in perfect. I then ran that cable to the Mygica tuner and voila! I got all the same channels in crystal clear HD. Works great as a DVR. Couldn't be more pleased, especially with what this costs. FYI, I have not tried the remote. To summarize, if you get crappy reception nothing is gonna make this device work well. You need a good antenna system.
