I bought this USB tuner because I wanted to watch TV over the antenna, but the included antenna is a joke. I then bought the directional Artec antenna on this site. I got two more channels, but none of the major channels (ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX). The included software is pretty bad, and you can't use it with other software.

Does not work with Windows 7, Arcsoft will not run nor will it work with WMC.Works just fine with Vista using Windows Media Center. Arcsoft works but could be better. Meritline shipping is quick, even with Free shipping.

This little stick picks up the local digital stations just fine (assuming you have a decent antenna, if not visit youtube for how to make one out of coat hangers). It also works just great on my netbook which only has a 1.6 MHz processor! This is a good buy.

The USB stick works as mentioned. However the remote is piece of crap. It never worked. So, for the price I paid, the USB stick was the working thing. Antenna is not really useful. You may need a better Antenna.

the tuner im sure works perfect, but what lowers its quality is the antenna that is included, the reception is very very poor. i even bought a different antenna from meritline the reception was better than the previous but not like a regular tv antenna.

Meritline service is good as always. The product is not that exciting -- * the included antenna is very very weak. I live in urban area and my TV can pick up a dozen OTA channels with no problem. This one got 2 when I put it near a window (0 otherwise). * with cable, it could register more or less all the 250+ channels, but almost all of them are "locked" -- I could only watch a community channel and a couple of gospel channels. Note that all the channels are clear QAM -- I don't have premium channels and don't use a set-top box. I would guess this may have something to do with "digital rights protection", but then what is the purpose of this product then? I only hope that this is an issue with the included software, otherwise the device is useless. It is not worth returning, but I don't much use of it.

Easy to install, but make sure your service packs are up to date. First time scan actually found stations my digital convertor did not see. Did find out that for some reason it would not recieve stations when I used a 10ft USB extension cable to try and move the antenna to a spot were I thought it would have better reception. Overall satisfied with the product.

The tuner works great. My netbook isn't quite up to receiving the HD channels, but I didn't really expect it to. Picks up all the local channels quite well, even with the dinky included antenna.

Works fine, antenna is not very sensitive, may be location; using an amplifed antenna receives many more stations.

The device works well if you have a system that is a little more robust otherwise you will have issues I have tested the device on several systems the more robust the system the better the device worked. More Ram, faster Processor and fewer applications running made for a better experience. Otherwise you get reception that freezes, lags, et cetera.
