AutumnWave OnAir GT

Pros: Easy set-up; ATSC and QAM tuning; Recording (with TitanTV integration); Portable – bus powered

Cons: Only one coax input – have to switch antenna and cable.

The Bottom Line: An unbeatable set of features in a small, portable device that can do it all. Watch & record all freely available HD in terrific picture and sound.

Review: The HDTV-GT is an OTA (over the air) and cable TV tuner for both HD - High Definition (digital), and SD – Standard Definition (digital and analog) channels that plugs into your computer’s USB port. I was interested in a device that could not ...

Pros: Great reception, easy installation, perfect picture quality

Cons: Software could be better

The Bottom Line: Great way to pick up your local HD stations and some "pay tv" stations and watch and record them on your PC.

Review: I recently acquired one of these units and I love it! The box includes the software, the unit itself, all necessary cables, a remote control and even a carrying case. Installation is very easy. Simply install the included drivers and software from ...

Pros: portable, USB vs PCI, simple installation. Tuner interface replaces editor software.

Cons: Editor software on CD partially works. Help manual could be better.

The Bottom Line: on durability I gave it a 3 because of the external 12 inch antenna and laptop usage. 5 if you use a rooftop antenna on a desktop PC.

Review: I use this on my desktop computer. It was designed for laptops. I'm using a 3.2 ghz P4 hyper threading dual processor, 1 gig ram, 500 gig HD's. I'm now using it on a P4 Vista Pentium D dual core 2.8 ghz machine. There's little change between how it ...

Pros: It does play HDTV - big deal.

Cons: It will not record without a flickering line at the top.

The Bottom Line: If you only watch TV on your PC, get this joke. If you want to record, stay very far away. Save your money and get a real DVD recorder.

Review: I read all the great reviews and bought this absurd thing. Do not even bother reading the features as it only does about half of them. Autumn Wave makes all kinds of claims. One is about digital signal strength metering, which does not exist in the ...
