Serial Honestech - Tvr 25 Link

| Issue | Explanation | | :--- | :--- | | No video over serial | Users often mistakenly believe the serial cable carries video. It does not. | | Analog sunset | Cannot receive modern digital TV (DVB-T/ATSC) without an external digital converter box. | | Driver unavailability | Original Honestech drivers are lost/abandoned. Must use generic chipsets drivers. | | Serial port speed | Changing channels is slow (latency ~50-100ms). | | No audio capture | Audio must be routed to sound card's line-in separately. |
