S-Media MediaMate 210D

Thursday October 14, 2004

S-Media

$229

Price at time of review.

The small USB S-Media MediaMate 210D is a fairly hardy TV tuner, with some basic software but enough to get the job done.

User Rating:

The small USB S-Media MediaMate 210D is a fairly hardy TV tuner, with some basic software but enough to get the job done. It's extremely easy to set up and configure, and we found that keeping the USB box away from the PC actually increased reception a little. It's tiny, but features full PVR functionality.
