One end has a standard USB plug while the other has a standard TV aerial socket.

Included with the receiver are a small dual rod antenna, remote control, quick installation guide and CD containing the tuner and video recording software (PVR).

This is in part a standard problem for digital technology over the older, more reliable analogue variety.

With analogue signals even with low signal strength you can usually get a picture, even if not very good.

I did try plugging in an older good quality portable analogue TV aerial into the receiver but this provided no reception at all.

The bulk of this review is carried out with the receiver attached to a standard external TV aerial.

As well as receiving broadcasts the software provides a couple of functions common on digital video recorders.

Timeshift or pause live TV and scheduled programme recording.

One is that you get to choose the size of the hard-disk and can upgrade the disk or switch to a new machine with larger capacity.

Another is that the resulting videos are stored in standard formats - in this case MPEG4 - with an option instead to automatically record in an iPod compatible format.

You can also then use standard backup tools to archive your video collection - anyone thats used a standard HDD video record and had a disk fault will appreciate this Once youve built up your library you can also share these across your home network with ease.

While this gives a standard list of stations and programmes it does not allow you to tune to a particular station - all you seem to be able to do is schedule a recording.

Indeed the only way to move between stations appears to be using the updown channel selector or by entering the station number on the remote control.

Ther EPG also is not available if the software is recording or the programme is running full screen.

Im so used to most software crashing at least a few times during use Im very impressed to report that in this case I had no problems at all, either with installation or with operation.

Its also an ideal product if you want an inexpensive way to build a HDD video recorder using your laptop or PC.
