Comments about AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB ATSC/NTSC/PAL HDTV Tuner for Windows MCE:
Easy setup on Vista machine with no glitches! Good thing because the directions that come with the item are difficult to read. The "free" antenna is pretty worthless but we can't get over-the-air reception in our area. The unit is a little bulky but worth it.
