Sigma HDTV5 USB

[Hulk]

In the new PC Mag on page 20 there is an ad for this product saying "The secret that your cable company doesn't want to know. Free HDTV over the air. Turn your PC into HDTV."

Does anyone here have this product? How does it work?

I don't cable tv right now, if I buy this will I be able to watch TV on my computer? Would I need internet access?

It sounds like a usb powered ATSC (HD) tuner that recieves over the air signals through an antenna. Since you don't have cable and that thing probably doesn't have a QAM tuner (for unscrambled digital cable) then you probably will only get your local networks...and not all the programming will be HD.
