KWORLD ATSC 340U Dongle HDTV USB Stick ATSC/ClearQAM AC3 Output - Retail
I bought this tuner from newegg when it was on sale for $35.
I have basic cable from comcast and I was able to pickup local channels in HD(clearQAM).
The video quality is good and overall im pretty happy with this tuner
Buying a USB extension cable for this tuner is an absolute must as otherwise it keeps on disconnecting at the slightest move and sometimes it feels like it will break also.
One thing to remmeber though this tuner will not work with encrypted channels like ESPN etc .FCC mandates that cable comapnies to carry unencrypted channels which are transmitted over the air , and with this tuner you can only see those channels.
N.B. I have read on many forums that KWorld is very bad as far as rebates and most of the people have not got their rebates.I don't have any first hand experience on this .
