CNET Review
The Good: Includes A/V cables and DVD-editing software.
The Bad: Poor image quality; no remote; long pause between channel changes; other USB devices can cause interference.
The Bottom Line: The Plextor ConvertX PVR is an affordable USB TV tuner with a decent software bundle, but its performance is less than stellar.
Manufacturer: Plextor Corp.
Part number: PX-TV100U-NA
