This works great with MythTV to grab terrestrial broadcast digital TV programs received via antenna.

If you are thinking about getting this, be sure to select the version that has a remote included. The only difference between the two versions is the extra remote and a S-Video to Composite adapter to make up for the Composite input port you are giving up for the remote input port. And most places offer the version with remote cheaper than the one without. Go figure :)

I've only used the digital part of this tuner, but I'm very happy with it. Worked out of the box in my linux mythtv system.

Somebody mentioned that this card will not work with Comcast service. I have Comcast service and the card is working perfectly fine for me. Skip their converter box and plug in the cable directly into the TV tuner. Not only that I get all the channels but I also get all the local channels in HD, even though I'm not signed up for Comcast HD service.

If you have Windows 7, there's really no point in delaying the purchase of this TV tuner. Windows automatically identifies the tuner, installs the drivers, and then it's only a matter of opening up Windows Media Center (WMC) and letting it guide you through the steps. I was concerned that just having a direct cable connection (no cable box...obviously) would limit the channels. But I get pretty much all the cables I do normally plus the HD channels. Having an HD monitor and a large hard drive (HD recording takes up about 5 GB/hour) makes this capable of taping full seasons and plenty of movies without batting an eye. Movies on all cable and basic channels are categorized for you. You can browse titles in an iTunes-like view and BluRay movies are even marked as such just the way they would in the store. I use iTunes for a lot of things, but not anymore. Why pay the money for shows and movies you can record yourself? Why wait patiently for buffering and annoying commercials on Hulu when you can just fast forward? WMC has really come into its own, and this Hauppage tuner really allows you to exploit its full potential.

This TV tuner card works great in a Dell Dimension desktop with Vista. Highly recommended when combined with Windows Media Center. Note that the card will fit in either a PCI Express x1 or x16, but not in a regular PCI slot. I did not set up the remote as I did not need it, so I can't speak for how it works. It looked somewhat cheaply built, though, so if the remote is a selling point, you may want to look elsewhere. <br/>If you want a cheap and easy recording option in Vista, go with this card.

I purchased this card to be put into a MythTV (Linux) home-built DVR. I previously was only recording standard definition non-digital cable channels. I recently purchased a HDTV for my bedroom/office and wanted to be able to take advantage of that. This card works perfectly with MythTV and Linux. The tuner found all of the digital channels in the air that my TV was able to find with the antenna connected directly to it. This card seems to lock onto signals very well, as I havnt seen a single issue in any of the recordings made from it yet. You can't beat free over-the-air high definition of the local networks!!! I'm thrilled. Buy it!

It works well, can view a clear picture on the computer, smooth, NOT choppy nor freezes. Includes WinTV7 which is needed to watch digital channels.

I purchased a number of parts in the past 1 year. They have great prices and shipping rates. My orders have always shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. They are very supportive of returns and stand behind what they sell. Great company with which to do business.
