I just got mine and played with it over the weekend.
The quality is precent darn decent. I plugged my antenna in and the reception was as good as with my other TVs in the house.
Recording quality at the highest setting was impressive. I "taped" the FOX sunday night shows and then played them back later on my laptop using Windows Media Player and I gotta say that it looked better through that than through the WinDVR software it comes with.
For $31 total, it was a steal.
 
would you know if the device is mono or stereo audio. most usb tuners i've seen are mono audio only.

Will this work with Windows Media Edition? I want to get an HD Tuner but from what i read you need an analog tuner in your system first. I'm thinking this would be a cheap option.

You could order from the other site and get one that is "USB 12.0 and USB 1.1 compliant".🙂
 
any outputs? It doesnt look like it. Can someone confirm?

I'm looking for something to play movies from my laptop DVD drive onto a television.

I've done extensive research on converting VHS tapes to DVD and the best solution I came up with is an S-VHS player connected to my digital camcorder via S-video and audio cables, passed thru to my pc, via firewire and audio cables.
 
For quality on a VHS transfer Big is right, item one is a high quality S-Vhs player, then many good choices for converting the resulting video.

RE the HD OTA, do some more research as its a moving target, but last I checked many like the Fusion cards, USB seems to have some issues.

BTW this card isn't HD is it, just old style SD video.
 
Also it doesn't appear to do any encoding in hardware, just tunes, converts, and passes the raw data to the PC and uses the cpu to encode.
