Watch
and Record HD Channels
from ATSC, Analog TV, and Clear-QAM Cable.
Enjoy watching free-to-air digital TV (ATSC) and Analog TV plus unencrypted
cable channels even without a separate digital set-top box. KWorld PlusTV HD
USB-315 scans unencrypted digital channels (clear QAM) and supports up to 256QAM
(both 64 and 256QAM). KWorld PlusTV HD USB-315 works with Microsoft Windows
XP Media Center Edition (MCE) and many other 3rd party media center software,
such as TotalMedia (Included in the package). Take advantage of the user-friendly
MediaCenter for watching digital TV while browsing through other multimedia
files on your PC. PlusTV HD USB-315 allows you the option of watching and recording
high definition TV within the MCE environment or using its own TotalMedia software.
True HD Time-Shifting Function
Never miss a beat with the true HD time-shifting function! Pause and replay
live TV shows by simply pressing the Pause button and then pick up right where
you left off. Just like the live TV mode, PlusTV HD USB-315 provides the advanced
playback functions such as pause, instant replay, time-shifting, fast-forward
and rewind.
Scheduled-Recording with EPG (Electronic Program Guide)
Forget about manually setting a recording time for your favorite TV program.
Simply select the program(s) you want to record from a program list with a click
of the mouse.

I myself couldnt get this to work clearly on my vista 64. I tried this and that, downloaded the drivers from kworld, installed, reinstalled, install again, and so on and so on and so on.... Mind you I was able to get a nice picture and sound with no problems at all. What I couldnt do is get it to work on Windows media centre, and the voice was off sync plus the picture would ''blink'' ever couple seconds. I am sure that an XP machine will have no problems with it. return was a breeze.

I purchased this product a while back when the price was close to $180... It works well under windows XP with media software included in the package.
Bad thing:
No drivers for Linux
ClearCAM does not work on Vista/MCE2005

I bought this unit based on, first, Tiger's reputation and second, other positive product reviews. I am happy to say it was not a mistake! This product installed and operated far beyond my expectations. It scanned and found all of my cable channels and I was watching TV on my recently purchased 28'' LCD monitor in less than 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this product. Thanks Tiger!

After struggling to install two other tuners, the Kworld ATSC 315U TV Box was a joy to install. I can record and watch live TV on my PC while I surf the internet. I highly reccommend this product.
