I am now on my third one of these usb tuner sticks. The first half
worked for a short while, the second had one tuner quickly fail and I
just used the remaining tuner until that too gave up the ghost.
This third one has been working for a couple of weeks. However I
currently have a problem with some programmes failing to record and I am
suspicious that this may be due to the KWorld stick not liking to have
both tuners simultaneously sending more than one stream per multiplex,
that needs more investigation.
In short I wouldn't go so far as to say both tuners "work well" nor
would I use the expression "reliable" but at least they ARE cheap.
You pays your money and you takes your chance.
