Last year I was planning to buy a tv-tuner so that I could watch, record, replay, and send the “Maging Sino Ka Man” (a tele-novela series by ABSCBN) to Malou when she’s in da States na … Malou and I are really hooked on this one and somtimes we argue and think deep about the series, hahaha … seryosong KBP (Kapisanan ng mga Baduy sa Pinas) … I was overjoyed when Malou handed her gift to me last 2 days ago as I didn’t expect it … to my surprise, it was a small and kewl TV-Tuner that I’ve ever seen … thanks Hon, mwuah!

KWorld PVR-TV 300U Dongle USB2.0 TV-Tuner

Most of the tv-tuners nakikita ko were a bit big and bulky and even my friends were amazed by its size and finish … if you ask me? sobrang ganda katulad ng LUVs ko, weeeeh … I have tested it with my T42 laptop and so far its really kewl though one thing lng …. mahina signal ng channel 2 sa akin, waaaaaaaaaah!!! … though the rest are very clear. I’ve tried the FM tuner feature and a lil bit dismay lng ako with the sound quality though pwede na … myt b bcoz s antenna, hehehe … oh one more thing this stuff includes antenna pero for FM lng pero pwede parin gamitin for TV (hold it while watching, hahaha) … comments ko lng sana ginawa yung antenna for TV and not for FM

I’m really really really happy with my gift and I hope I’ll be able to keep-up sending the recorded videos ng Maging Sino Ka Man to you Hon, mwuah!
