'Claims to allow you to watch and record TV'
I've installed and followed all the instructions (half of which were in chinese)
But still no luck at watching TV even with their antenna provided which is smaller than a brocolli.

TO SAVE everybodys time..I would say 10/10 for fast delievery...1/10 for a product that actually works..

If you plug the thing into you roof antenna it should work. But... too much kit has bad installation files. I wonder if you can just get the drivers and whether Windows 7 might work without the rest of the software.

Digital TV receivers are pretty poor on mediocre signals, especially indoors. You might find if your region switches over this year, the increase in power might be enough for it to work.

Mine is still on the shelf after I had the same problem.
