1.0 out of 5 stars
Horrible!,
By Mark Smith (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KWorld USB 2.0 Combo TV Box - TV tuner / video input adapter - Hi-Speed USB (Personal Computers)
This is a big waste of money. let me elaborate...Turns out (know now) that USB based tv tuners are usually a bad idea especially if you expect a lot from them (high resolution, pvr, etc). This is due to bandwidth limitations (yes even with usb 2). This box when used via the USB port has audio that just has a very high pitched whine on top of it. When you are running via usb, the audio is sent over the usb cable along with the video and there is no way to turn it off. hooking up a jumper from the line out on the box itself to the line in on the computer does nothing because there is no signal on the lineout jack of the combotv box when you are plugged into usb. So it is useless for recording because of the annoying whine. It is also annoying to watch tv with the whine. The provided tv viewing/recording software is horrible. my other experience is with MSI's tv tuner software and I like it MUCH better. The product has disappeared off the website. There are no driver updates (which could fix this product) or software updates (which could fix the user experience end of things). This works perfectly fine when NOT used via usb. If you hook it direct to a monitor and speakers (via line out) and DO NOT hook up the USB. Video and audio is great. Of course this way you cannot record or use your computer at the same time because your monitor is tied up. So in the end it is only useful as a standalone tv tuner which means there were a lot of cheaper products I could have bought that would have done the same thing. If you email kworld tech support they claim that your product is broken (even though these problems described are well known) and suggest trying to get a refund from the retailer...good luck. If you want a good tv tuner for recording tv shows, watching tv, and ripping old video tapes to dvd...get a good quality pci card. [...]

Total Junk,

This review is from: KWorld USB 2.0 Combo TV Box - TV tuner / video input adapter - Hi-Speed USB (Personal Computers)
I regret buying this thing, but did not do my research, as I should have. I based part of my decision on Newegg's reviews, which I will never do again. I think Newegg has great service, but their "reviews" are stacked and Newegg will not post negative reviews.This Kworld USB 2.0 Combo TV Box TV Tuner has a 1 second lag between the video and sound. If you like watching 1970's Kung Fu movies, you will love it. I don't. The manual is a joke. The product is not listed on their website. There is no technical support. Did I mention I regret buying this thing?
