#USB TV TUNER FOR PC REVIEWS FULL#
The custom application can be placed in full screen mode and with this enabled and the remote in hand, it did feel like we were watching TV.

Overall, we were impressed with the image quality and audio clarity presented by the Banksia Tuner. Whatever channels you pick up will be dependent on your location and the quality of the reception in that area. We tested the tuner on three different PCs in different locations, and each time, we picked up different channels. One issue we did have was that not all channels were picked up, even with the antenna full extended. All up, the tuner took around four minutes to scan for both video and audio channels. The first time you start the installed application, the Settings screen is displayed and we eventually realized this was a prompt for us to scan for channels. This does increase the size of the package somewhat and also the room that it takes up. When you open the package however, you realize you also have to plug in a rather large and unwieldy antenna in order to get reception. If you look at the box or product shots of the Banksia Digital Tuner, you will see a small black box - and this is true, the unit is indeed a small black box.

In practice, the Banksia Tuner left a little to be desired. Once that's done, you can then watch Digital TV on your PC or notebook and best of all, you can also record it, turning it your computer into a PVR.Īt least, that's how it's supposed to work.
#USB TV TUNER FOR PC REVIEWS INSTALL#
The CD install took about three minutes, after which a restart is required. As it is USB powered, no power cable is required, which we also found rather convenient. We haven't used a device such as this before, but all that was required was plugging in a USB cable and installing software from the CD. This was no different with the Banksia Digital High-Definition Digital USB Tuner, and it is a testament to the product just how easy it was to setup. This is both to test how easy the set up will be for the average consumer, and also to boost our insufferably large egos as we convince ourselves how tech savvy we really are. When we first get a product at the GoodGearGuide, we inevitably try to set it up without having to refer to the manuals.
