Included is bundled evaluation software that even lets you record the programs you want watch again later. So for roughly the price of a movie and popcorn you can transform your computer into a digital TV set and DVR.
For months you've asked for it, finally here it is. This incredible USB accessory is definitely the world's most amazing computer upgrade. Simply insert this ISDB-T dongle into an available USB port and then install the DVR software (it comes with an evaluation copy of Blaze, but there are even better open-source software solutions on the web). The software auto detects your ISDB-T region and automatically scans all available digital TV channels and adds them to your channel list. Then you can channel surf just like you do with traditional TV. See something you want to save? Record the program immediately or schedule a future recording. It's like TiVo but it's much less expensive and there are no monthly fees!
