I have win7 and I have a Kworld TV Tuner Stick for my USB Port.

I have had no good come from it from not picking up stations to skiping and things like this.

I never use Internal TV Tuner Cards because I always have Driver Prablems with them.

Is there a USB TV Tuner Stic you can tell me is good or that you use?
