Reviewed on June 7, 2006

AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB
Reviewed on June 4, 2007
While there are more portable TV tuner/antenna combos for frequent travelers, the AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB is a good choice for more sedentary Media Center users looking for an affordable and easy way to watch and record TV. The kit would be more useful, however, if the included antenna were bigger.
