tv tuners: K-world or Leadtek?

[badkuk]

has anyone tried K-world products? mga 1k kasi ung difference between the Leadtek PVR2000(the one w/ mpeg2 hw encoding) and a similarly spec'd K-world counterpart.

btw, has anyone used the Leadtek Walkie TV? hardware mpeg 1/2/4 capable external usb tv tuner daw. maganda rin siguro ung price B)

[Kikkomann]

+1 for Leadtek.

[BlueBimmer]

i have a kworld tv tuner installed in my home rig, ok naman

[Syuryuken]

Leadtek syempre pag may budget.

Pero K-world gamit ko dito hindi nagkasya pambili ko ng Leadtek nun. so far ok naman walang kaproble-problema yung remote pa lang ang nasira natapunan ng Pepsi Max dahil kay Angelica Panganiban hehehehe

LEADTEK user here. The best.

I'm using Leadtek Winfast USB II Deluxe for my laptop.

Leadtek gained recognition dahil matagal na sa market yung brand.... K-world is just an upstart in the Philippines but may be a big player outside... Tingin ko check the specs & warranty & website... kung parehas lahat pero mas mura K-world.... K-world nako...

[badkuk]

checked villman's pricelist again; 2k pala difference between k-world and leadtek B)

landslide victory for leadtek ah! hmm....

wala yatang naka indicate na may built in TV antenna? FM antenna lang.

[Picard]

Meron po. Standard ang indoor antenna sa karamihan ng mga tv tuners. Kahit yung mga PCI tuners ng Leadtek meron din.

[radiazone]

leadtek ka na

[boybi]

a ok, detachable pala yung antenna.

Hi, Im also in the market for a tv tuner. For those who have actually used the leadtek usb deluxe tuner:

1. How is the picture quality using the built-in antenna?
2. If I use a LCD monitor connected to the cpu by DVI cord, can I connect
the leadtek using (still ) the DVI and switch from TV to computer easily?

I request those owners to please reply. thanks.
