A couple of mini-USB ATSC tuners - Artec T14A & FujuPlus FD-USB728

Aug 31st 2006 10:46PM on Engadget HD

Received my Artec A14T today, ($60) playing with it since then. Bare bones but functional. Controls are (1) scan for channels, (2) play, (3) change aspect ratio. Resizeable window or full-screen. If scan finds it, you can watch it; no channel edit/add/delete functions provided. (Might be able to hack the data file if I can locate it.) No channel numbers, just callsigns. Pretty much same results when scanning with supplied antenna or rabbit ears, mini-yagi finds a few more (all un-amplified). No DVR func yet. I would love QAM too. It won't tolerate USB 1.1 (Tried it on a lesser LT.) Worth $60, glad I didn't pay $100.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
