The Aver Software is very good and also the tuner works perfectly. The antenna is very small, but makes mostly for really good reception. The remote control is ok, you have to know that it is primarily intended for the media center. On my Windows 8 computers in standby is connected, strangely enough, when I press the button on the remote control. What is also not optimal, is the volume control. If you use the remote control turns down the volume, you will so the Windows volume. This is impractical, for example if you want to hear something else on the computer in the commercial break (for example, YouTube etc.).
