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.
