Rating: - Avermedia TvBox 9
This product has lived up to everything I hoped. Very easy to connect, and works beautifully. Ideal if you already have a spare computer monitor lying around. If you use it as a primary viewing for cable television, a minor con is that you won't be able to use your cable remote to also control volume as you would with most regular TVs. So you need to use both the Avermedia remote and your cable remote for operation.
Rating: - As Advertised
Delivered very quickly. Easy installation; I have a dual screen set-up, so I had to reconfigure the screens to recognize the new hardware--again no problem. Works well, and as advertised.
Rating: - Works Well
We have it set up in our conference room to get cable and to switch between devices to hook up to a projector. We have had no problems, and operation is simple.

Rating: - No European PAL support on US model
Works as advertised except that the stated "PAL" support is for the South American PAL standards, not the European PAL standard. A workaround is to use a cable box and use the video input on the TVbox, the regular cable attachment will not work. It works but I lost any picture-in-picture capabilities as I now have just a single feed into the monitor.
However, given that this was significantly less expensive than the European model, I'm satisfied with the product.
