Item did not work (2009-12-27)
I had tried another digital receiver prior to purchasing the Plextor receiver. The previous receiver worked very well except it got very hot after only 30 minutes of use, so I returned it. The plextor receiver was rated very well so I purchased it. I liked the design as it had vents built in to allow for cooling, however, the cable/antenna connection was flimsy. Unfortunately, the unit did not work. The installation cd did not match the installation steps identified in the accompanying manual so I was not able to identify why the unit was not working. It would not recieve a signal, even when connected to an antenna that I knew received digital stations. There was no feature available on the menu to assist with trouble shooting the problem. I attempted to contact the Plextor website tech support, but it indicated that it is not yet available. I returned the product.

Did not work on any computer. I gave it a 2 only because I can use the digital antennae on my HDTV to get over the air HD, on channels my cable company does not carry in HD. Pretty expensive for this use, but not a total loss.
Good Until It Stopped Working (2009-05-15)
This unit worked quite well in New York City with antenna placed in window. I received many channels and pictures were excellent on 19 inch PC LCD monitor. However, after a few months, without changing anything, the unit just stopped working. The unit has a one year warranty, but trying to return the unit for repair or replacement was useless. Evidently tech support cannot read or understand English very well.
