I connected the device with STB using composite cables. As you can see in pics, TV Tuner contains female composite ports. So, One end of Composite Cables to STB and other end of the cable to USB TV Tuner.

But I would be purchasing mini USB - HDMI Cable soon to get much better PQ.
 


Oh cool... You can use it like a DVR then 🙂 But you can record only one(the currently running channel) isn't it?

Yes, It will record currently playing channel only. But I would re-confirm about this after practically checking it.

What abt the FM Radio ... ???

Yes, It have FM Antenna and receiver too.

I am unable to figure out what all it supports as input since the sideways pics aren't there. So does this support a HDMI in too?

When you record is the file size really large or compressed?

Ya, file size is very small and looks like highly compressed. I need to do more RnD in that.
