Customer Review

This USB tuner is really impressive ... its size above average: 9,5x2,7x1,4 cm.
In the blister is in addition to the remote control and key, a conventional magnetic antenna, a USB extension cable (very useful given the size of the vehicle), an installation cdrom and an unusual accessory; a flexible plastic suction cup for fixing the antenna on a non-metallic support.
For less than 28, so this seemed like a great deal, but ...
First disappointment: after installing the drivers, the receiver based on an Intel CE6230 system proves to be incompatible with the wonderful pouchinTVMod (Arrgh, drivers are yet BDA!) So I am obliged to install the supplied software. ie HDTV Player.

And then second disappointment: this version of the software designed for Windows 2000 and XP is not really Vista-compatible: the installation stops on an error message that I decided to ignore the order to carry to an end. Compared to some competitors, this player is relatively light (40 MB), practice, and picture quality and very honorable record, but its stability under Vista unfortunately leaves to be desired (it can also play DVDs, but it's pretty gadget).

Third disappointment: the sensitivity of the tuner which is significantly lower than that of other key TNT I had the opportunity to test on my arrival antenna .The comparison was possible because HDTV Player TNT accepts other key models ... a good point for him .Néanmoins, this deficiency does not prevent USB TNT Basic V4 run, but the number of fields in bars and most frequent images swings are there to remember.

Fourth disappointment: the little sucker, which was basically a great idea, is unable to remain fixed over a few seconds on a smooth, even when you do not add the weight of the antenna!

Last disappointment: the magnetic antenna itself which in my case was faulty (short circuit in the molded plug: I preferred repair myself rather than return to all AMAZON).
This product is not the best choice in its class, but its low price makes up for its shortcomings.
