The software is fairly straightforward, the antenna remarkably sensitive for its size, and the overall setup is swift. I have used the system (hardware + software) on my Mac Pro for a few hours in total without issues; everything is in perfect working order, and of course it's essentially brand new, as I have not used it since. I am selling it because I decided to get a TiVo so that I can stream stuff to my TV, and my TiVo also does the same things this device does. But if you are looking for a super cheap and relatively easy way to watch and record TV shows directly on your mac, this is a good solution.

I package carefully and ship promptly to anywhere in the world (ask me for a shipping quote if you're outside the US). I accept checks, money orders, or paypal.
