Aleos's Reviews
Tune in to live television broadcasts on your PC with this PCTV USB 2.0 stick and watch and record your favorite TV shows with ease.

There are alot of good reviews for this product, but they are all from people who just installed it. I've had the unit for over 5 months and it overheats even when not in use. I've had it hanging from my pc's usb for the past 5 months without noticing the problem. Then when I switched cable modems I went to pull the coax out, and wow the tv tuner usb was hot to the touch. It won't last much longer and Best Buy won't give me my money back, because its past the 30days. As for the picture its pretty grainy, I've switched coax cables, usb ports, and moved all electrical wiring from the unit but the graininess doesn't go away. If you google Wintv-hvr 950q overheating, others have had the same issue. Don't buy this, you may damage other components in your pc.
What's great about it: Easy Install
What's not so great: Overheats when its not even being used
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
