Ab Work Outs: Sabrent TV-USB20 USB 2.0 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box with Remote Control Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In my opinnion this product it's pretty well by the price but depends a lot of the configuration of the computer and the signal that you get.

A regular "USER" will have a lot of problems, the computer reboots and a Blue Screen (clasic blue screen of windows due to memory problems) appears when i unplugged the tv box.

I test it also in Win2000 SP4 and i can't put the tv box working in that OS.

After many test i found the way to work properly, i always see if the pc have SP2 and DirectX 9.0c and then i use the wizard of New Hardware Found to install the driver and then install the remote control and the application. in that way the box function properly but DEPENDS A LOT OF THE SIGNAL because i use an internal antenna and is very difficult to get a good sign.

Whit RCA (composed) an S-Video works fine but somethimes the image blinks also the audio so... it is a good product for the price but you can find a better ones.

When you are using the remote control and press OFF the entire PC is shut down not only the application so....

But i can't complain... To watch the World Cup on your work is a very good option. The box function, after many try's works fine.

I bought 15 tv boxes and all function well. no one was broke. !!!

(sorry for my not so good english)

Es un buen producto, tiene clavos al momento de instalarlo y a veces saca pantallazo azul ademas se resetea la computadora cuando se desconecta el TV BOX pero cuando se logra configurar, se ve bastante bien, aunque depende mucho de la señal de la antena que se utilice.
A veces con cable brinca la pantalla y el audio, pero si se ve...
La recomiendo por que es barata y si se instala como debe ser y la computadora cumple con los requisitos minimos pues si funciona es decir cumple lo que promete, pero para un usuario comun no va a ser tan facil hacer que funcione al 100%.
Depende mucho de la configuracion de la computadora yo compre 15 y la mayoria me dio problemas al momento de instalarlas pero finalmente se vio bien en todas y ninguna me salio dañada.
Respecto al Control Remoto pues si uno le da apagar, la computadora entera se apaga y no solo la aplicacion :S.
En fin si buscan mas y gastan mas tal vez consigan algo mejor pero esta es bastante buena es practica ya que no pesa u es super chiquita y bonita. la ventaja es que le entra RCA S-Video y Coaxial y se puede capturar claro los archivos son enormes pero es una ventaja.
