Reviews of the Diamond XtremeTV PVR660 USB 2.0 Power Pack Edition
-
CNET Review
The Good: Plenty of connection options; great software package; includes cables.
The Bad: Credit-card-style remote may not appeal to some; IR blaster not included; typical TV tuner image-quality problems.
The Bottom Line: The Diamond XtremeTV PVR660 USB 2.0 Power Pack Edition boasts the best combination of features and quality of any external TV tuner we've seen, but it shares the same image-quality problems as other TV tuners.
Manufacturer: Diamond Multimedia
Part number: PVR660RCUSB
