  I wouldn't use it again if you bought one for me

  Pros: It works sometimes

  Cons: Crashes at some point EVERY time it is used.

  Summary: It crashes all the time. Moving the playback window from one monitor to another and maximizing it causes it to crash (sometimes just moving it to another monitor alone will do it). Watching TV on it for more than an hour causes it to crash. Pausing play will cause it to crash. Using it will cause it to crash. If you want to update it and no longer have the original CD you won't be able to (heck you can have it but it could be scratched and unusable). In fact you might not be able to install it on another machine. Avoid this company's products at all cost. I've tried them twice spaced by 5 years. I will never touch their products again.

  HDTV tuner recorder

  Pros: What was a negative factor for the one reviewer ended as a plus for me. My Compaq desktop had a spare X1 slot. It is as sensitive as my Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950 dongle for HDTV, which is going on another computer. The internal card frees up the USB port

  Cons: Make sure you have a computer that has the X1 slot. It is something that will not work on any computer earlier than 2008, which I believe was the introduction date. I have tested it out on only one thing, HDTV and recording of that. I can't give any i

  Summary: I have no trouble recommending it, though note the limited use I have put mine. I got mine from a store that was going out of business a couple of years back, so I didn't pay the price that it is now going for. For what I have used it for, and having only really tested it for a day, I don't have any trouble recommending it

  don't know if it even works. appliction won't install

  by m coste on March 20, 2010

  Pros: can't find any.

  Cons: install of card is easy. it ends there. the drivers install but the application wintv7 does not. it has to close. sorry, send the error report. no help on how to fix the problem from microsoft. no help from hauppauge, they don't answer any email

  Summary: unless you have a very very up to date system, eg win vista or win7 64bit avoid this tv tuner card. you WILL waste your money.
