Using it as a simple TV tuner is not enough to warrant a purchase, however competent it may be at that task. It's marketed as a full PVR system by Prolink, however it barely skims the surface of what many competent PVR systems for the PC are capable of now. Simple tuning and recording is barely enough to excite people interested in such devices.
