It works reasonably well and it'll save you money if used instead of buying a dedicated LCD TV. However, it's not without some major limitations. For instance, there are no SCART or composite video ports, digital video and audio sources aren't supported, and you can't use the component output at the same time as the RCA/S-Video output. There's no TV tuner software supplied, so you can forget about PiP, scheduled recording, time-shift recording, or even the ability to record video from any analogue video source, and its build quality is poor."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/ADSTECHTVStation100_2.jpg" /> <br /><br />If you can't watch TV and work on the computer at the same time, then what is the point. :wink: Seriously, I'd imagine the biggest appeal would be to those with limited space, like students in dorms, etc. But then is it really that hard or more expensive to install a TV card and get more features?
