crash, bang boom

I can't tell you how it worked because it never did. It crashed on Vista,so I tried Windows 7 - same result. Waste of money and time.

Waste of time

Does not work very well with Windows 7 64 pro. Crashed my system several times while trying to use it. Did not pick up many channels using cable connection. I uninstalled it and I am going to try to use on an old laptop I having running XP. Didn't work much better, but at least my system didn't crash.

Disappointing

I got this to replace a similar device, which had started ''stuttering'' on image and sound. I use it to record the occasional TV show from cable. I expected it to pick up channels 2-13 and a few others, which suited my needs. It turns out it picks up nothing under channel 8 and only a couple more ''regular'' channels. Lots of other QAM channels but it's better on what will be available on any given day - sometimes beautiful hi-definition versions of regular programming and other times those channels are not there. Fine if you're into ''browsing''. The antenna was useless (zero channels found) in my area, as I expected.

Useless

only picked up a small number of channels and of those the reception was hit and miss (mostly miss). I was going to return it but after shipping cost I would be out more than half of what I paid for it so will likely just throw it in a drawer and forget about it
