MacWorld thought the TubeStick brings a lot to the party. Its very low price and great software makes it a delight to use. You will need good digital reception in your area to reap the full benefits of the TubeStick and the lack of analogue reception may deter some but its bargain price is definitely tempting.

"You'll need a decent signal, as the TubeStick has only one tuner, and so no diversity mode, but if you do, and don't mind not having a remote control, it's a decent choice."

"One of the more affordable TV tuners for the Mac, and it's backed up with the MediaCentral software, which can teach Apple's own Front Row a trick or two about playing internet video."

"... for the moment, unless your needs are very basic indeed, we'd urge you to spend the extra cash and opt for an EyeTV for DTT."
