This standalone TV tuner allows you to watch your favorite TV shows on your computer monitor without the use of a computer. Simply connect the TV tuner to your LCD or CRT monitor and enjoy! This device is ideal for occasions when your primary TV is in use because it acts as a second television - all you need is a regular PC monitor. This system includes features found in advanced televisions, including picture-in-picture, which allows you to watch two channels at once (PC connection required to use this function).
You can connect the TVBOXHD to your speaker system for sound, and it connects to a TV antenna or coaxial cable to receive TV broadcasting. It also accepts component, s-video, and RCA composite connections, allowing you to connect your high definition game console/satellite receiver, Blu-ray/HD-DVD/progressive scan DVD player, or any device that has an AV connection. This enables you to view any of these devices on your LCD or CRT monitor. The TVBOXHD supports high definition resolutions of up to 1680x1050, and is a perfect solution to your video needs.

Summary: Good Deal for the Price!
Comment: I got this on Just Deals and I'm happy with the product. However, on the down side, the signal ain't that great and the model I have doesn't have captions as well. But on the up side, I have an LCD monitor and the picture is just perfect and does its job! So if you're looking to have your monitor as a tv set, then try this one out! Even though the signal ain't that great, you can actually get a signal amplifier. And I'll do just that!

Summary: Did exactly what I wanted
Comment: This product does exactly what it says it will do: its a TV tuner for any monitor with a connection to your PC as well. The S-video, component, and composite-in are very useful as well, and a feature you won't find with many internal TV-tuners. It works well and worth the price paid for it.

Summary: One of my Smartest Purchases
Comment: If you have an older monitor lying around taking up space, then you can turn it into a high-res television set and save lots of money. That's what I did and I cannot believe that I waited so long to do so! I have a one-bedroom apartment with a larger tv in the living room, so I purchased the Stand-Alone VGA TV Tuner, hooked up the monitor, connected cheap computer speakers, attached my spare DVD player and use my cable connection for a perfect bedroom setup. The remote is surprisingly handier than other remotes that come with name-brand units... what a bonus!
Besides the simple, yet well-rounded features, so far the unit has held up to hours of operation. I used to sleep to the clock radio, but now leave my monitor-tv on all night. I sometimes forget to program the Sleep Mode (10 minute intervals to 90 minutes) and have found myself waking up to the operating unit. We are talking more than a couple of months of this kind of use/abuse and I still think that this is one of the best buys I have made ever! Soooooo worth it!!
