Antenna? So what, you cant plug your cable into it?
That would explain the cheap $40 pricetag i guess.... which is too much money in my opinion

The cross-platform compatibility and small size make this an appealing Apple Mac and Windows Media Center compatible USB TV tuner stick that might particularly appeal to OSX users running BootCamp, VMware or Parallells as well. As of version 2.8 TheTube software for Mac is vastly improved over earlier versions - but still has a way to go to match the elegance and maturity of ElGato’s EyeTV. Since it's a Hybrid Analog & QAM Digital tuner - it does come with an RCA composite/S-Video adapter to capture stuff from Analog sources like VCR, a gaming system, etc.

I have been using the Tube stick but I am going to replace it because it is the WORST. PRODUCT. EVER. It has several of the singularly most annoying bugs, or so-called features that you could imagine and none of the features you really want, like being able to record another channel while you watch a different one. It has this STUPID "EPG" thing that interupts programs at crucial random moments and ruins the one good feature it does have which is the ability to rewind. DO NOT waste your money on this failure of a product from Hell. I am going shopping tomorrow for something that isn't total garbage.
