Well the problem is when you know what the box is, you can't know
what it does. The little box says on it:
AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB and then DVD Quality . MPEG-2
Compression . Vista Ready . Digital TV/Analog TV/FM Radio
It has an input that is for a TV antenna, A "S" connector input, A USB2
cable to the computer, an IR link to a TV-like controller, and 3 RCA
female connectors.
I have a pdf manual which is not much help.
