Anyone seen (and bought) one of these?

I'm curious if anyone has one working in a myth box? I'm a little wary
given the verbage about "updated tuners"...

I need another tuner with all the finale's coming, and $80 is cheaper
than a single PVR-250 or PVR-500.

Thoughts?


QUOTE:
This Air2PC-ATSC-PCI card, one the first ever created for PC-based
reception of off-air ATSC signals, was designed by B2C2, and was
manufactured in 2001. While this card was subsequently replaced by
newer versions with updated tuners the basic functionality has never
changed. Recently, we obtained a limited quantity of these receivers
that were never used and are still in there original shipping boxes.
As such we are selling these receiver cards at a deeply discounted
price. The list price of the newer version of the card is $169.95. The
primary difference between this card and the newer version is related
to tuner sensitivity and multipath handling however it is our
experience in the vast majority of locations this has proven not to be
a significant issue. A directional UHF Antenna (not included) is
required to receive the signal.
