Unfortunately i had a hell of a problem with this product.Crashed my pc(Hp Pavilion dv5-1125 64 Bit os)on several occassions.Saw this when i ran Diagnosis.Made a complaint and got a new one to replace.Sent my machine crashing once more! I simply put it away.Money lost,but saves me the pain and frustration.Using AverMedia usb hybrid tuner(also purchased from Amazon.com) with no problems atall!Very good Customer Services by Amazon and Hp anyway.

I bought this tuner as a replacement for a Hauppauge HVR-850. To my surprise, it turns out that aside from the packaging and pretty labels on the stick, they’re both pretty much identical. Right down to the cap’s color. I’m certain both come from the same manufacturers. The issues I have with this and the Hauppauge tuners are two: relatively low audio and somewhat low video quality; slow channel switching.
I’m thinking PCI interface tuners might be a better way to go. Those tend to rely more on hardware signal processing from what I understand.
On the plus side, this one does include a Media Center ready remote.

It is a great Item for watching TV on the Computer, but the recorder has problem of it’s own. If your just planning to watch TV with out recording then this is for you, but If you like to Rec. for later I wouldn’t get this one.

Very useful especially if you are in college and don’t want to pay for a tv, just hook this up to your pc and start watching cable tv after a very quick setup. I love this and its very convenient.

Works perfectly! Setup was easy and I was enjoying broadcast tv in a snap. Going to purchase a splitter today so that I can view my cable channels next. Love it!
