Off-brand Android: Live TV USB Antenna Review

In my ongoing quest to find and review the most bizarre Android accessories, I kept stumbling across this Android TV antenna. According  to the product description, this device will work anywhere in the US and provide you with a live TV feed. I finally got my hands on this device and was able to try it out for myself.

I had my doubts about the ability to receive a TV signal through my USB port. Still, I am unsure as to if this is even possible. What I do know for sure is that this product is not the solution for watching live TV.

Everything already looked suspicious when the only thing this product came with was an unmarked CD with no description of what it was for. Had I opened this five years ago and still had an optical drive on my computer, I would have been able to tell you what the contents of this CD are. For now it will have to remain a mystery.

After installing the companion app to test out the live TV, I found that all of the content was being streamed through my data connection. There was no need for the antenna to be plugged in to get any of the content from the app.

Curious as to whether there was even anything inside of this USB adapter, I popped open the case. It definitely wasn’t empty but how this thing was even supposed to work, I wasn’t sure.

This product was a massive fail. Do you have any suggestion on what I review next? Let me know in the comments.
