The MiniTV USB TV Tuner from ADS Technology turns your computer into a PVR by allowing you to watch and record analog TV signals directly on your computer. The small external device connects to your computer via a standard USB connection and lets you input video directly from a standard cable TV or broadcast source. The MiniTV draws power directly from the USB connection, allowing you to use it with your computer without having to find another open power outlet. This is a great choice for watching and recording television programs on your computer.
Compact Size
The MiniTV USB is no larger than a standard jumpdrive. It can plug directly into a USB port, or be connected using the included USB extension cable. Adding TV tuning capability to your computer has never been easier -- you don't have to take the computer apart to install a card, nor do you need to have a bulky external tuner box sitting on your desk.
PVR Capabilities
The card comes bundled with Ulead InstaMedia 2.0 software package. This software not only allows you to watch and record television directly to your hard drive, but also lets you archive your recordings to VCD or DVD discs. It features a unique "10 foot" user interface that is designed to let you operate it from up to 10 feet away.
USB Interface
The MiniTV USB can connect to any PC with an available USB port. This makes it extremely easy to add TV tuning and recording capability to almost any modern computer.
