The USB ATSC TV Tuner Stick for Capturing Digital TV Over The Air

Looking for a way to take advantage of the hundreds of channels that are being broadcast around the nation in full, high definition digital quality? The ATSC USB TV Tuner gives a new way to catch digitally broadcast signals on your laptop or home PC.

What is ATSC?
ATSC stands for the Advanced Television systems Committee. This group has the officially-adopted standard in high definition, over-the-air broadcasting in various nations, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, and Honduras. The ATSC standard means that you can get high definition digital programming, including 5.1 stereo surround sound out of local broadcasting.

The ATSC standard has been adopted by hundreds of local channels, with 88% of the US population now being covered by at least one digital channel. To see whether or not your area is covered and by which stations, go to antennaweb.org. The biggest beauty of this is that you’re getting full high def television without paying exorbitant fees for satellite or cable.

TV on your Computer?
Yes! Of course! Many people don’t realize that computer monitors have been more advanced than standard TVs with regards to high picture quality for years. This means that even on a slightly older machine, you’re likely going to have the display capabilities for high def TV.

One of the greatest features of the USB ATSC Stick is that it is extremely portable. Just larger than a standard thumb drive (or jump drive), the ATSC stick can be easily pocketed or stored in a laptop case. And since it’s USB, you don’t need to disassemble your home PC to put a new card in. Simply plug it in to any existing USB 2.0 port and installation is done. It couldn’t get much easier!

The TV tuner stick is also very versatile. Being able to capture high definition ATSC signals doesn’t mean it can’t handle the old NTSC (analog broadcasting) stations. Plug in your UHF antenna to get the best of both worlds. So don’t fret if digital isn’t all the rave locally yet, you can still get your standard analog network stations until they go high def.
