The ADS Tech MiniTV USB is the simplest TV Tuner that I've tested to plug into a PC, and is ideal for use with a Notebook PC. No cracking open the case to install the TV Tuner card, just plug the MiniTV USB into a free USB port, and connect either your Cable TV coaxial cable or an Antenna cable to the short adapter cord that connects to the MiniTV.

A good buy for those who want an easy way to capture TV on their computer. Finally, you install the MediaTV PVR software from the CD, very simple and straight-forward.

Once everything is installed, it's time to open up the MediaTV PVR software. For those who have used the Windows Media Center software, MediaTV PVR will look very similar. Like Windows Media Center, MediaTV PVR lets users choose between watching and recording TV, listening to music, or viewing photos. To watch TV using the MiniTV USB and the MediaTV PVR software, you need to scan for the channels coming through the Cable TV or Antenna cable to the MiniTV and into the computer. Once the channels are scanned into the software, you can start watching and recording TV on the PC.

I tested the MiniTV USB on an Okoro Systems Home Theater PC, the OMS-SX100, which includes an Intel Core Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 250GB Hard Drive. (Read more about the Okoro Systems OMS-SX100). The picture quality was surprisingly good for such a small and portable device, but I found the MediaTV PVR software to be a bit sluggish when moving from menu item to menu item. I preferred to use the Windows Media Center software with the MiniTV USB.

I bought the ADS Tech Mini Tv USB and installed the software that came with it on my brand new pc but the program never worked. The TV option never appeared in the program menu. I asked the company for help but they just never replied. When I complained again I was send an email saying that the problem was.
