THE GOOD: Compatible with both digital and analog signals, including HD; Media Center provides an attractive front end; includes S-Video and composite video ports.
THE BAD: Included antenna is small and weak; not the most portable package on the whole.
THE BOTTOM LINE: While there are more portable TV tuner/antenna combos for frequent travelers, the AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB is a good choice for more sedentary Media Center users looking for an affordable and easy way to watch and record TV. The kit would be more useful, however, if the included antenna were bigger.
