Reviewed by Fred. Review Posted 01/01/2011
I would not recommend this product. It would not find many channels and each time AutoScan was used it found some new channels but lost others. It needed considerable effort to export, modify and import files. Has taken several days to get a satisfactory list of 37 channels.
Also needs to have settings changed to get smooth, non jerky picture.
Instructions poor.
