Considering we were located in the middle of the terminal at a gate with no windows, the tiny 5" antenna performed better than I would imagine. Sitting in LAX, I was able to tune in ten analog stations and 36 digital ones including channels with enticing labels like Fun, The Tube, Raw News, Worship, qubo, and IONLife. I would suggest beginning with the antenna that Hauppauge provides. If you're really serious about good reception that might mean an outdoor mounted one. If you are too far away from the TV stations' transmitting antennas or are blocked by big buildings, you may need to resort to a more powerful external antenna. The scanning process takes about 10 minutes for all the channels. Click on the WinTV icon and you're ready to Scan for all the available analog and digital channels floating around.

"Typically a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 processor or equivalent with a graphics card having 64 MBytes of memory is required to properly decode ATSC digital TV on your PC." Since the tuner is relying on your computer to decode ATSC digital signals, Hauppauge recommends minimum system specifications. As the reference material states, "The WinTV-HVR-950 cannot receive digital cable TV or digital satellite TV." You also can plug in a cable or satellite TV wire to the WinTV-HVR-950, but it will only tune in the analog channels.

The tuner comes with a cute nubby 5" high antenna with a range of about ten miles according to Hauppauge. Plug it into your laptop and you can be watching your favorite analog and digital broadcast TV programs, even HD, no matter where you roam – as long as your reception is good.
