HUMAX Digital ATSC TV Tuner for HDTV Reception
Television is just better in digital
As background, I live in a condo, and have always had very bad TV reception.  All the fairly tall buildings in close proximity to each other does some very bad things to analog tv signals. While I was used to it, when I'd have friends or family over, they'd just turn off the television and comment on how bad my reception was. <br /> <br />I installed the HUMAX tuner, ran through the setup, and suddenly, I was watching the clearest television I'd ever seen.  Channels I'd never been able to recieve before suddenly came in bright and clear, some with \\"extra\\" channels with more content. While this is a feature of ATSC, and not the HUMAX itself, I was quite impressed. <br /> <br />The system is easy to use and fairly intuative.  Setup is simple and fast, the program guide is easy to use, and the menus are well layed out.  Options on how to view programs in the \\"other\\" aspect ratio is a nice plus, giving the user control over how the image is displayed.  The lack of an antenna pass through is a minor complaint, but is enough to knock off a star from the rating. <br /> <br />Overall, a very nice product to get free DTV.
