Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It's ... OK ...
I used this a lot on my XP based DELL Inspiron 640m laptop. I was able to record sound and video of old VHS-C tapes, convert them to video files, and upload them to Google Video. The quality was not fantastic, but neither was that of the original source tapes that were twenty years old.

Now I have a Vista based DELL Vostro 200 (desktop) and I can get the video and take screen shots and such, but no matter what I do--NO AUDIO! Very unhappy. I'll update this review if I can get it ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Tuner, but you gotta work out the kinks
I'm an IT guy and it took me a while to install, but here's what I finally figured out.

1) Upgrade your motherboard, chipset and bios to USB 2.0. My computer kept hanging on boot since I'm installing the TV tuner on an old PC, but the blue screen error and hang I kept getting were because the PC components didn't know how to talk usb 2.0 which is the latest version of USB. I went to [...] for my PC upgrades and downloaded the latest versions.

2) Ensure your boot order ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product, Easy Install.....
This is an excellent product and very easy to install AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! If you try to shortcut the instructions, it wont work. Other then that, it is very good quality tuner, with excellent recording quaility. It is a bit slow on response using a Digital Cable Box Guide. Overall, I give this product 5 stars for ease of use, and quaility for the money.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not the best TV tunner I have had but not the worst either.
Pros: The software for watching TV is very easy to set up and use. The video capture and screen shot features are very good quality. The DVR function is a nice addition to the software.

Cons: WARNING, DO NOT use the install software to set up the device driver, It crashed my system and corrupted my CD rom and onboard sound card drivers, I had to do a re-install of windows to fix it. Just plug in the USB and let the windows found new hardware wizard search the CD for a driver. Also the ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Worked with 1 computer I tried it on, not with one with Vista
You might want to refer to my discussion on this product.

This tvbox worked with my XP system, but not with my Vista laptop. I think -I'm no expert though, it has something to do with the HDaudio driver not being WDMcompatible.

The support hasn't helped me at all so far. Very generic replies and they haven't replied to my latest support request.

If you want a tv tuner to work with vista media center I recommend you look for one compatible at microsoft marketplace. ... Read More
