Kworld USB TV Tuner
Kworld USB TV Tuner
There are four popular models of Kworld USB TV tuner. Three of these are
stick-sized USB TV tuners; the remaining type is the box-sized Kworld Plus TV High Definition USB TV Box.
Kworld ATSC Digital HDTV USB 2.0 TV Stick
This Kworld USB TV tuner is one of the cheaper models available. It is a stick-sized
digital tuner, receiving digital TV and unencrypted digital cable channels (called QAM; typically local channels).
This TV tuner can also schedule recordings. It also comes with a telescoping antenna.
Setting it apart from other USB TV tuners is its ability to performing multi-channel preview,
where the screen is divided into a series of small windows each showing a different channel, which is faster than
flicking through different channels when deciding what channel to watch.
Kworld USB 2.0 TV Tuner
This Kworld USB TV tuner is an analog tuner, meaning that it can only pick up analog TV signals.
It will auto-scan for channels.
This stick-sized USB TV tuner is moderately priced. It can also fast-forward, rewind, pause and
schedule recordings. No antenna is supplied, meaning that most users will have to purchase an antenna separately
for best picture clarity.
Kworld USB 2.0 TV Tuner ATSC/QAM
This USB TV tuner from Kworld is a digital tuner, and in addition to digital TV signals it can
also pick up unencrypted QAM cable (cable channels broadcast 'in the clear'; typically less popular or local
channels).
This TV tuner also has DVR-like features such as pausing, rewinding, fast-forwarding and
recording TV. Many users agree on its great ability to pick up TV channels and good picture quality.
Kworld Plus TV High Definition USB TV Box
This box-sized USB TV tuner from Kworld is about the size of a thick paperback book. It
is actually a hybrid TV tuner, capable of picking up both analog and digital TV signals, as well as unencrypted
QAM cable channels (the QAM channels are typically less popular or local channels). It is also capable of
recording TV, and doing fast-forward, rewind, and pause.
This Kworld USB TV tuner is designed to pick up either analog, digital, or QAM
channels. Users report that currently, it can only scan for one of these types of TV signal at a time. However,
users who had bought it for just one type of use (e.g. digital only) tended to find it performed well. At the
moment, this hybrid TV tuner may be best suited to users who are planning to use it for only one type of
signal.
