V-Stream X-Pert DTV-DVB-T USB

Thursday October 14, 2004

Kworld

$275

Price at time of review.

One of the few external DTV boxes, the V-Stream is a pretty capable tuner.

User Rating:

One of the few external DTV boxes, the V-Stream is a pretty capable tuner. Most of the USB devices aren't as strong at tuning we've found, but the V-Stream is quite dogged and feature packed. Like the Compro tuner card, this unit features scheduled recording with power off (SRPO) so you won't miss any program even with the PC or notebook powered down.
