Sabrent TV-USBHD Dual ATSC & Digital HDTV and Analog TV Tuner / Video Capture USB 2.0 Pendrive with Remote Control and Antenna Vista Ready
Customer Review: Fair product for the price
1- What I don't like: I basically buy it because of the price and because it came with the little antenna and the remote control, but both are useless, with the remote you have to be so close to the laptop that at the end is easier with the keyboard to change the channels or turn on the volume and the antenna does not help at all to get air channels, as a workaround you can try one of those rabbit ears antenna. 2-The good part: The device itself works fine with cable and it is easy to install, the software is nice too and easy to record and set it up to record a program while you're gone. A good option for traveling or record something that you don't want to miss
Customer Review: BAD service and support

The worst place to store your recordings is in a car. Sunlight, heat and humidity will quickly ruin what may have taken hours to record. Your tapes are an important keepsake and taking good care of them will allow you and perhaps even future generations to view them with a smile and a touch of nostalgia.
Magnetic fields are lurking around your media center such as the television and audio speakers. If you are like the average Joe, most of your video and audio recordings are clustered around this area. This is no place to store expensive CDs and more importantly precious memories of family events.
Just like a still camera, the tapes you make with your camcorder are vulnerable to magnetic fields along with heat and humidity. Whether you have audio or video tape, floppy or zip disks, the storage and care you give them will make the difference between a lasting recording and a cherished moment that has been forever erased or ruined.
Mildew can also grow on your tapes so adequate ventilation is another factor that must be considered when you are contemplating where to store your tapes. Air circulation is important so that your tapes stay as fresh as the day you recorded them.
Your Camcorder Recordings Worst Enemies
Caring For The Tapes You Make With Your Camcorder
Temperature has a lot to do with the successful storage of tapes. The optimum temperature to store your valuable tapes is between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity is also a key factor in keeping your tapes safe. The relative humidity of the storage area should be in the percentage range of 50 to 60. The area should be free of dust and far from direct sunlight.
A good idea to keep the tapes at peak performance is to fast forward the tapes to the end at least once or twice a year, followed by rewinding them. Layer to layer adhesion and the build up of stress can be avoided by exercising your tapes as you would your body.
