If u want FM radio support, u should get mine, AverTV Volar Hybrid HX

Ok thanks for your info ..Like dat I think have only 2 choice to chose one is your
model using the Hybrid HX, and Leadtek WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H .

So did anyone using the WinFast PalmTop DTV200 H is it good pictures and FM
radio sound good ?

AVerTV Volar HD vs HX

$68 vs $12X.​

$60 premium for

1. FM Radio
2. Remote Control
3. Composite Input
4. S-Video Input

Other than watch TV on LCD monitor, only radio & remote control are applicable for my intended usage.
Worth the extra $60?

good wrk ERT

 

[tigerwoods]

i heard the hybrid analog recepiton is quite bad using with the small antenna


can detect all these channels. but red ones cannot watch

 

[ERT]

If AVerTV can decode those channels, we won't need Starhub cable TV lor!

will all these USB TV tuners work well in a typical netbook with its weak Atom CPU and poor integrated graphics?

i know that the KWorld model specifically states that it is compatible with EeePC but what's the quality like?

There's one other major difference you left out - the HX can receive both analog and digital tv. This may be useful if you travel overseas (for eg Malaysia) where they don't have much digital transmission yet.

The other item that may be useful would be the remote control if you use the tuner on an HTPC.

i have a msi wind u100 netbook. atom 1.6g and windows xp. the avertv hx it works very well. As long as the operating system is windows based, should work well.

U are quite right on HX's ability to receive Worldwide analog TV Access.
In Singapore, this feature will enable reception of MediaCorp Channels:

1. Channel 5 (175.25 MHz from SCV point and antenna, 538.00 MHz from DVB-T)
2. Channel 8 (196.25 MHz from SCV point and antenna, 538.00 MHz from DVB-T)
3. Channel U (487.25 MHz from SCV point, 527.25 MHz from antenna)
4. TVMobile (602.00 MHz from DVB-T)
5. HD5 (608.00 MHz from DVB-T)
6. Suria (224.25 MHz from SCV point and antenna)
7. okto replacing Kids & Arts Central (503.25 MHz from SCV point and 543.25 MHz from antenna)
8. Vasantham replacing Vasantham Central (495.25 MHz from SCV point and antenna)
9. Channel NewsAsia (543.25 MHz from SCV point, 559.25 MHz from antenna, 538.00 MHz from DVB-T)

while HD is able to receive on those channels broadcasting in DVB-T.
Conclusion: HX FTW!

Darn, the $99 price is only available at those 'Show" fairs. And the next one is in June 11th - 14th!

thanks for any reply

Bizgram also has a model - AverTV Volar GPS - that combines a tv tuner with GPS receiver for $155! Has anyone tried this? For just $30 more than the HX model, it seems quite tempting - just not sure how good the GPS will be and whether it will be easy to find maps (seems that it works with Microsoft Street maps)

I need a tuner for my HD Ready LCD monitor(not TV), which model should i get if I want to watch HD channels but do not want to go thru my PC, straight to the HDMI input if the monitor, is this possible?
