Strengths:

Off-the-air and cable signals can be utilized

Weaknesses:

high price

Posted May 25, 2007 - I bought this because of good reviews from hdtv tuner.com. This works pretty good and I like its capability to capture cable signals. One complaint is high price. Another plus is you only need a USB cable which makes it a simple connection to a PC or laptop.

Almost perfect if your graphics card is strong

Strengths:

Compact, easily mobile to other computers, HDTV, smooth operation

Weaknesses:

A powerful graphics card is needed to display full-screen HDTV; sporadic software glitches

Posted Dec 7, 2007 - Overall I'm very pleased with this HDTV tuner. It replaced an AVerTV card that had no Vista driver, and operates more smoothly; no static sounds while switching channels; no sudden change in volume just by turning it on. Its included HDTV tuner works very well, and it has a very nice infrared remote control, as well. Its only problems are (1) a sporadic no-volume problem, that seems completely unpredictable, and (2) if you want to enlarge an HDTV channel to the full screen, you'll need a VERY powerful graphics card to achieve a smooth picture - like an 8800 series. I started out using a 7950GT card, which yielded a lot of flicker; putting in dual 8800GTXs in SLI has changed it to a flawless picture.
