What’s to be said when I’ve tried it on an older Thinkpad with Pentium and XP, a top T60p Centrino Core Duo2 with Vista Business and the latest Thinkpad T500 Élite CTO with Centrino vPro + Vista Buisness. This turkey gets 2 of the 5 area on-air channels! E-ing mfr got squat = expensive paperweight!

I have followed this product for the last 3-4 months. I bought it on sale for about $50,installed it on both my laptop(DELL dual core) and my desktop(2yr old cheap Compaq w AMD SEMPRON 1.8). I have had NO problems with the unit or the software. I find that there are 2 groups of people who complain about this product…A group…The computer “experts” that start analizing it to death before they get it out of the box.Typically genius types that are brilliant in their own minds…but don’t read simple English that well…..Then there is group B…The fashion folks…It worked well but the remote felt like a graham cracker in my hand so I took it back to the store and bought a four thousand dollar HDTV instead. HEY!!!!!!! You get a TV and a DIGITAL recorder for $50 that works on your laptop. Don’t listen to the nay sayers….Oh yeah I almost forgot the 3rd group….The software sellers…I have a program that I wrote in my garage that works better than Hauppauges team of engineers and scientists program….Yeah…Right!!! Don’t listen to the whiners and LIARS….and the folks that won’t read the instructions…..THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT FOR $50….

This item is great if it had a great software to go with it. But, it doesn’t leaving me to give it the two stars it was given. The HD recording is awesome, “TRUE QAM!” But the software sells it short leaving you with glitches and gaps that can no longer be filled when recording digital cable/tv.

I purchased a Hauppauge TV tuner card many years ago in order to use it with my Win98 machine; never worked worth a damn. So I figured they would have only gotten better over a decade, right? Wrong! I have a new Windows 7 machine with 8 cores and more than enough horsepower. This product works with Windows Media Center for about 7 minutes, then hangs. WMC ends up reporting a “Low Bit Rate”, but the hardware is frozen solid. No amount of fiddling will get it to work again, except for a reboot of the system. Then the Hauppauge POS will work again – for another two minutes. Updated drivers did not help. Rolling back the drivers did not help.
If you want the ability to watch TV on your computer, buy something else.
