I order this unit on a Monday morning and it was shipped, by standard shipping, to my house the very next day (super fast). I have three computer monitors just laying around going to waste, so I order two of these units so that I could use two of the monitors as extra tv sets. When I hooked up the tuner boxes to my monitors I did not believe what a fantastic picture I have on both monitors. I own a few high end, high def tv’s (lcd and plasma), and I am always having to playing around with the antenna to get a good high def digital reception. Most of the tv transmitters in my area are about 30 miles away from my house. Out of curiosity I hooked up one of these K-world tuners to my Sony hdtv and bypassed the tv’s internal tuner. Oh-My-Gosh! The reception improvement was fantastic! No more messing around with having to perfectly aim the antenna, just aim the antenna in the general direction of the tv transmitters and you get perfect reception. I live in Toledo Ohio and I was getting just the local tv stations (18 in all), but with the K-world tuner hooked up I am pulling stations in from as far as Detroit Mich, and Windsor Canada which is about 60 miles away. In all I am now getting a total of 62 hdtv stations (a few are weather dependant). I must say that the monitor/tuner setup far exceeded the picture and reception qualities of my expensive tv’s. For the money this K-world tuner is outstanding and I am ordering four more of these tuners for the rest of my equipment.

Last year I bought a Kworld usb HD tuner for my laptop computer. I really liked it, so I was eager to try Kworld’s stand alone HD tuners.
The box is very good at picking up stations. I can get more than 40 digital channels just by putting the included pole antenna in an upstairs window. By the way, the included antenna has a magnetic base that is capable of defying gravity and it is really handy. I placed mine horizontally near the top of my window. My channels all lock in solid, and the picture is fabulous. The menu is easy to follow. For example, I easily made the picture brighter than the factory default setting. The instructions and the remote could be better. The remote has a couple buttons that reset the output; you can make your picture disappear if you hit them by accident. I am using the component outputs; I have not tried the vga outputs. This unit is set up to allow you to share a vga monitor with a computer. I also bought the DVI version of this box. On that unit, the picture is slightly off center, which causes the first digit of the channel to be off screen. I haven’t found a fix for that on my television set. [I have to wonder why these units are not eligible for the $40 government coupons. I have 2 older hdtvs with no built in ATSC digital tuner. The eligible conversion boxes only put out 480i, which is not real high definition.] If you need an HDTV tuner for an older hdtv, try this unit first.

Great product. After alot of adjusting with the remote I finally have full 1080i. An improvement for the manual would be helpful. Also, this is the cheapest option I’ve seen. Got it on newegg for $59.99 w/ free shipping.

After 6 weeks, it broke, displaying a blank screen.
Can’t even return it since it is past 30 days.
Build quality is very poor. Tuner and the remote look like cheap plastic parts just thrown together quickly. Cheap build not was apparent from picture; hence my poor purchasing decision. VERY poorly written manual.

I bought this product March 2009; as of July 2009, it is broken. It worked great initially, but in two short months it stopped working. I’ll be contacting the manufacturer about this soon. Will keep you informed.
