External TV Tuners Buying Guide
They say, move with the times, so it's no surprise that external TV tuners are some of the top-selling products. You will chance upon several models on your visit to the store. Be it a dual tuner, USB TV tuner, or a WiFi tuner. The result is the same. However, when convenience comes into the equation, people make independent choices.
The different kinds of external TV tuners
Few tuners come with a DVR service that is compatible with both Android and iOS. You may have to get an antenna separately if the tuners don't come with one. A TV/FM antenna and AV input cables accompany USB TV tuners and over-the-air WiFi tuners. Each kind uses a different mechanism to establish a connection with the local TV network.
How does this technology work?
Most brands offer a free app to record, watch, replay, or rewind your favorite TV shows anywhere you go, given that you can access WiFi. There are also tuner apps that let you watch videos on devices without WiFi. The HDTV antenna allows you to stream channels from networks such as Fox, NBC, ABC, and PBS. You may have to connect the antenna to the tuner in some TV tuner models and the tuner to the laptop, using cables.
One time investment to reap long time benefits
In other types, the user must place the antenna where the over-the-air TV signals are the strongest. Once the setup is complete, you can watch local live TV shows and news on TV and your gadgets through the app. Some apps can even alert you five or ten minutes before the show is about to begin. All this is possible with no additional investments, i.e., no cable costs or subscription fees are required.
