Enclosed software may be out-of-date

When I tried to install the software for this product that was included on a CD, it did not work. After quite some time of trying to figure out what was wrong, I noticed the CD said "copyright 2006." The MediaTV application on this disk was not compatible with Vista because it could not recognize Windows Media Player 11, which is built into Vista and cannot be downgraded without downgrading to XP. So all I need to do to fix this problem is download the updated software from the manufacturer's website, right? Wrong. I went to ADS Tech's website, and it was down. I had to wait a week for them to get it back up so I could download the current software and get the TV tuner working. It works fine now, but the outdated software CD and the weeklong website outage were a huge hassle.

It works...barely

I purchased this so I could watch TV in my dorm room because it would be much cheaper than a TV. The main point is that it works, but there are several drawbacks.

First, installing the software was a long painful process that required me to go online and download files from obscure locations.

Second, the quality is not very good. The picture is very grainy and the sound comes along with a high pitch ring that drives me insane.

Like I said before, it works and that is what I bought it to do, so I guess I got my moneys worth.

never really got this working right, or perhaps it worked as best it could. TV reception lousy, even over cable hooked directly to the device. Over the air stations impossible.

The guide and all the rest of the features are fine, I guess, but never had much of a chance or need to explore them since the reception was so terrible.

ADS TV USB converter

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2008

I would not recommend this device any more. Since the country is going to digital, you will also need a converter box for this one. That is unless you have cable, or satellite service.

Been a good thing, but now it's going to useless for me.

The easiest way to transfer your PVR to your computer.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2008

For the price, you can't go wrong.

The video quality is great.

I have transfer some shows from my PVR and convert them into DVDs and the quality was the same as the original.
