Cons:
Can't record on it Found this for my husband, he'd heard about digital tuners. We have not just one, but five channel 9s now -digital is amazing! All at no charge.
Reception is incredible too, and we're just using our regular antenna. My husband set it up and selected the channels, there are so many available we didn't want them all. I understand from some reviews elsewhere that you have to set it up using a digital set, although it can then be used with an analog one or monitor.
The only drawback is if we want to record something we can only record using our regular tv tuner. Not sure if that's a function of our recorder though.

Cons:
Buggy I read reviews claiming that this tuner had good over-the-air reception. This to be true. It picks up channels better than my analog TV. There are none of the dropouts or glitches that have given DTV a bad name.
Features are plentiful. There's a handy program listing and a good number of preferences to configure. Channels can be added manually for those of you using a rotating directional antenna.
Picture quality is clear as long as there's not too much motion. There's no MPEG noise reduction so fast moving scenes break into flickering blocks.
The real downside is bugs. Changing channels rapidly causes the tuner to crash and reboot. I've even had my channel list damaged during a crash. The tuner correctly identifies 3:4 and 16:9 aspect ratio programming yet it requires the display mode to be changed manually. There is no way to specify if you're tuning a real channel number or a virtual channel number so you may have conflicts.
