Plextor ConvertX PVR-PXTV100U
The Box Gods have a review of Plextor's latest external PVR setup. It might be a right fit with beginners, but the image quality seems to be lacking. Although the SageTV Lite bundle is a nice addition.
This PVR is definitely NOT for the hardcore HTPC user because of its average video quality. This product is aimed at users who can’t use an internal card, and also for those new to the PVR market who want simple. I would not recommend this particular product to anyone looking for superior image quality and/or the low overhead of an in-hardware encoding solution.
