The specs implied that it would permit a moniter to be used as a TV. That is not true, there are no connections on the box to permit connecting to the moniter. Therefore it is not useable.
ntsc (non-digital) broadcasts ended in June 2009 in the USA, so this won't pick up any stations now. do not buy.
I return this little devide last week due to a very low signal. The product is a good idea but if you want to have a sharp image this is not a good option.
The reception was like UHF with no UHF antenna. I couldn't make this tuner work. I wrote the manufacturer they were no help at all. The sound was terrible. I'm astonished they are still marketing a product that will be obsolete in a matter of weeks. I hooked it up to a CRT monitor, it scanned for about 20 minutes and found 3 stations I think.
When I wrote to the seller they answered and agreed to take it back. There were no directions included but it seemed pretty straight forward. While at the same time in the same spot my antenna reception for both my Tv and my converter box is excellent. My Tv gets six and my Tv converter box gets 26 with the same antenna. It's hard to tell since none were clear enough to watch. They also educated me to the difference between ATSC-non-digital broadcast, which this device is, and NTSC which is digital.
Beware.
While I was eager to try it, and the price was good. but the results is always the same. the first one failed to work altogether out of the box, and the 2nd failed after a week. I love small Chinese companies for their willingess to try and impersonate big corporate products. Poor quality and utter failure to deliver as the more illustrious counterparts. Maybe some day small chinese electronics will actually all work, but until then I'd recommend finding a VCR or DVDR-- spend the money for a tuner that works if you need one :) or a graphics card that has S-video or some other output that works with your tuner-less monitor.
