* Setup is as easy as plugging the stick into a USB port, cancelling the Windows "New Hardware Found" wizard, running the "Install Drivers" app from the included CD, and running the WinTV setup. WinTV will scan your available cable stations, HDTV, and analog TV stations.
* Connection input options include composite video (RCA jack), L and R audio RCA jacks, a standard "F" connector, and an S-video jack.
* The included antenna picked up all HDTV stations in my area.
* The software will also scan analog TV stations, if any are still broadcasting.
* Default video is in the form of .ts files, which my copy of Nero encoded with easily. I have yet to see any dropped frames.
* USB powers the device, so there's no additional power needed.

I couldn't be happier with this device. Not only can I copy old tapes to video for DVD burns, but I can also watch HDTV on my laptop in airports.

What's great about it: Easy setup, good interface, flawless operation

What's not so great: -

I would recommend this to a friend!
