Strengths: Great digital picture quality
Weaknesses: Short USB cable. Using the remote takes a little getting used to...
Summary: This product really does what I want it to do. I've searched for a decent TV tuner for USB that works for both ATSC and NTSC. This TV tuner does that and believe it or not I'm really excited because I received it less than 45 minutes again and was able to install it from CD on Vista ultimate with no problem whatsoever and was able to pick up 35 Digital channels as well as 15 analog ones. Some digital channels don't really work, but more than half of them are playing with great DVD quality. However, the analog channels are kindda fuzzy with my indoor rabit ear antena. Just did a quick test on recording and the remote, and they worked fairly well. I have a high end system (Q6600 Quad Core with GTS8800 GPU), so that might be why I'm not having some of the issues that other people have reported. Also, I didn't really have any driver or installation issues; although, the drivers from the web site don't seem to run.

2 Star ReviewKWorld TV Tuner Products
Strengths: Ok product not so great
Weaknesses: Do not believe in their Rebates you will never get them.
Summary: Do not buy any KWORLD Products on account of Rebate they will never send a Rebate Check. The product is not so great but the only advantage would have been the price after the rebate but you will not get it.

2 Star ReviewNot that great
Strengths: USB. Has remote.
Weaknesses: Remote is so small it gets lost too easily. The remote is weak and must be pointed at the tuner. Program guide not very functional. I can't get the time-shifting function to work.
Summary: The CD that comes with it is supposed to install it, but I had to search the internet to even get the thing to work on my computer. The default settings had to be changed. I found suggestions on Buy.com.

The remote control is credit card sized and gets lost too easy. The remote must be pointed directly at the tuner to work.

The remote doesn't control the television guide. You have to log in on the internet from the computer and scroll with your mouse which is a grind. On most program guides you can select a show and view that channel. This one doesn't.

The time-shifting function should pause and rewind live TV, but I can't get it to work.

You either need to add a good strong HDTV antenna or have digital cable/satellite connection.
