3.0 out of 5 stars Good Until It Stopped Working, May 14, 2009

By	Jay J. Chichon (New York City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This unit worked quite well in New York City with antenna placed in window. I received many channels and pictures were excellent on 19 inch PC LCD monitor. However, after a few months, without changing anything, the unit just stopped working. The unit has a one year warranty, but trying to return the unit for repair or replacement was useless. Evidently tech support cannot read or understand English very well.

3.0 out of 5 stars CPU Requirement, June 6, 2007

By	Elliot Stern (Hollywood, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Plextor's website says you need at least a 3Mhz CPU to get high definition (1 Mhz for standard definition).

3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Mac, June 8, 2007

By	Miguel Gonzalez "palabras" (OAK PARK, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got very excited when I read about this product online. But I missed the small print and saw there's a 3GHz CPU requirement for HD on the Amazon review below. Plus, I checked to see it's a Windows(R)-only device. Sorry Mac OS users. Otherwise, it's genius! So, perhaps I'll wait for version 2.0.
