This unit worked quite well in New York City with antenna placed in window. I received many channels and pictures were excellent on 19 inch PC LCD monitor. However, after a few months, without changing anything, the unit just stopped working. The unit has a one year warranty, but trying to return the unit for repair or replacement was useless. Evidently tech support cannot read or understand English very well.

Plextor's website says you need at least a 3Mhz CPU to get high definition (1 Mhz for standard definition).

I got very excited when I read about this product online. But I missed the small print and saw there's a 3GHz CPU requirement for HD on the Amazon review below. Plus, I checked to see it's a Windows(R)-only device. Sorry Mac OS users. Otherwise, it's genius! So, perhaps I'll wait for version 2.0.

Did not work on any computer. I gave it a 2 only because I can use the digital antennae on my HDTV to get over the air HD, on channels my cable company does not carry in HD. Pretty expensive for this use, but not a total loss.

tried it on desktop and laptop using xp. didn't work.
tried it on my new vista hp laptop. didn't work either
