3 Star ReviewStand Alone TV Tuner Box
Strengths: Can use a VGA monitor as a TV. A computer isn't required. Picture quality (brightness, contrast, etc.) can be changed using the remote.
Weaknesses: Many (see below)
Summary: User's Manual seems to have been translated from Chinese and is pretty basic, no hookup diagrams were included.

Problems with the box:

Auto Frequency Scan found all analog cable channels, but gave them numbers different from what the cable company says they should be.

The channel selector only goes from 0 to 70, so channels higher than 70 are given lower numbers.

The on-screen menu only gives about two seconds to make a selection before closing itself.

Sleep function (auto shut-off) doesn't work for me.

The MMI socket is inconveniently located on the side of the box.

RCA connectors on MMI cable aren't identified.

Problems with the remote:

Preview button on the remote is mislabeled as Power.

Remote's PIP button doesn't do anything, it may work when connected to a computer.

All buttons are round and similarly sized.

No batteries were included.

Channels selection is fine when I set the box to channel 2 and use my VCR's tuner and remote. But I still have to use the box's remote to control the volume.
