5.0 out of 5 stars Turn an old monitor into a TV, February 26, 2008

This review is from: External Standalone LCD TV Tuner (Electronics)
I have an old CRT that is still in fine working order but is no longer in use. I have an ancient television that is finally breaking down. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a truly inexpensive new TV. I wanted to find a TV tuner so I could replace the old TV with the CRT.

This product really fit the bill. It was simple to set up and within 10 minutes I had cable TV on the monitor. Keep in mind you'll need speakers. Any speakers you can use on a PC should work, and they plug right into this box.

I am using it with a 17 inch trinitron CRT monitor and the picture is very nice at 1024 X 768. The box supports much higher res than that.

There are similar devices for a little less money that don't support higher resolutions. I went with this one so that I could connect an LCD monitor of higher res in the future if I wanted.

I did not try to connect this box with my computer because I was not looking for TV on my PC, so I can't comment on how easy or hard that is.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Recomended, December 19, 2008
This review is from: External Standalone LCD TV Tuner (Electronics)
1) Remote control is a joke, confusing and unresponsive.
2) Volume control only work with TV selected as the source but when used with the line inputs, doesn't increase or decrease and is fixed.
3) Only one L/R line input force you to use only either the composite or component or Y/C (S-Video)which are selectable through the remote so doesn't make any sense if the manufacturer provide the option to roll through the several enclosed line video inputs but only one L/R audio input.
4) Doesn't have a closed caption decoder which should be included if it allow a PC monitor to work as a TV, I believe that's against the law.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than the expected, July 4, 2008
This review is from: External Standalone LCD TV Tuner (Electronics)
Works nicely with cable antenna. High definitions are worth having. Menu can be boring and the remote does not follow any design pattern: instead of 123, 456, 789, 0 divided in four lines, it uses 1234, 5678, 90, this is inconvinient when you are in dark.
