Good card, but the I think 1800 is worth the incremental cost.
Good reception of both digital and analog channels, acceptable framerates all around.
Lack of QAM, large size, lunky software.
Posted Dec 31, 2007 - I have been using this card for a few months (upgraded fom a KWorld ATSC 120 that was having frame tearing issues on a computer that otherwise was so overspeced that the bad framerate could be squarely blamed on the card). The 1600 is a larger card than the KWorld one, but it has worked much better than its predecessor (the one exception is that I think I liked teh KWorld's software a bit better -- but the KWorld software was more of a pain to install properly, which maybe makes that a wash). Overall, though, the incremental price for the 1800 series card (Which is PCI-e x1 and has QAM) probably makes it a better alternative for an only slightly larger cost -- having used both, I wish I had bought the 1800 instead (and probably will at some point soon).
