    Hey guys. I just received a Kworld 310U USB HDTV tuner and i must say, it works pretty well.The software is much better than my old leadtek winfast. The only bad thing about it is that the remote has poor range and is small. If anyone's interested in getting a USB tv tuner, this one's not bad.

    btw, i haven't tried hdtv yet but i will soon.

    I like DVico's HDTV USB tuner. Its great, and I haven't had any problems with it @ all. And once you try HiDi, you never can really go back o.o'

    So the tuner broadcasts in HD? Anyone have a site link they could give me? This looks like something I might want to check out ;).

    I don't think the tuner broadcasts in HD but can receive HD signals being broadcasted by stations and then you are able to watch & record on your notebook

    mj, You got DVB-T 310U & it works OK for HDTV in the USA?
    I thought the site indicated HDTV antenna came w/ it.
    & that DVB-T only for European HDTV
