A Real Money Saver
The idea here is to be able to recycle an old computer monitor, either a CRT or an LCD.The Avtunerplus Watch Live does the job and does it quite well as far as my experience goes.

Occasional Lockup
I've had this unit for about a month. It pulled in more stations than another unit I bought (Digital Stream), which I hope to have repaired under warranty (it died after 6 months). I'm not sure, but I think the images were sharper with the Digital Stream. It could also be that I was amazed by my first taste of HD reception and the Humax came along after I had acclimated myself to it. Only a side-by-side comparo with otherwise equal equipment can I be sure.
HUMAX Digital ATSC Tuner for HDTV
This unit is very easy to hookup and operated.
Enjoy the new digital broadcasting at a very affordable price
If folks only knew what is now available over-the-air they would be putting up a new antenna or hooking up the one they abandoned when they signed up for cable or satellite. This tuner makes available all the new digital broadcasting whether you have a high definition TV or an older non-high definition ready TV. The new digital broadcasts eliminate all the irritating interference we used to hate. Many stations are providing additional programming in addition to the primary program. The HUMAX HFA-100 gives all this to you in an easy to use and very affordable package. It even comes with all the necessary cables you will need. ... Read more

Hapless WinTV-Radio (Model 401)
I got this as a Valentines Dat gift for my almost XYL.She said the needed drivers weren't on the CD & the so-called instructions were basically one sheet of paper.(her system: Windows XP Pro, Shuttle MN31N m/b, Athlon XP 2500, 512meg dual channel PC2700 RAM) So far she hasn't been able to get it to work.She called Hauppauge & they said it sounded like a hardware problem, but to try it on another computer. Right- she'll rush right out & buy a second computer.
Way better than ATI TV Wonder
I have purchased ATI TV cards for a long time, but I am glad I purchased the Hauppauge.I was having problems with the ATI cards freezing and havin audio synch problems.This card is awesome and I have had zero problems.Buy with confidence!!!!

Defective Product
This product has many defects and bugs in it.My friend had the same product and she said her sound was not working.I went over and her speakers were turned off, so I turned them on and it worked.She said even when the speakers were turned on, the sound for the tv didn't work.I thought she was crazy.A few days later, I installed this product on my computer, and frequently the sound did not work.I had to restart my computer.Also, if you leave the volume on the tv or radio on high, and then turn the tv or radio off, the speakers make many noieses.You have too open the program, and turn the volume all the volume all the way down for the squeeky noise to go away.And then finally, just two days ago, the sound stopped working completely.I could here some noise from the radio but with squeeky noise, but the tv was just making a whole bunch of noises.Now I finally knew what my friend was talking about.This tv tuner has many bugs.I recommend not buying it.I have a Gateway computer with Windows XP, 1.9 GHz, 40 Gig hard drive and 512 MB of ram.All of the windows security updates are installed inlcluding Service Pack 1.I recommend choosing a Tv tuner other than Hauppauge.But let me add just a few pros. When the radio and tv did seem to work fine, the FM radio was excellent.very sharp sound.It doesn't come with an AM tuner.The tv was pretty good too especially when you want to record a program.It saves it too a special folder where you just click on the program saved, and it plays it using real player. However, recording programs REQUIRES AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF DISK SPACE.I recorded the PISTONS basketball game vs. the lakers and it took almost 3 gigs off my hard drive.Read more

This item does everything as advertised, and more!
The Card installed painlessly, and with no problems. The drivers took all of 3 minutes to install, and the most recent drivers were in the box!
Product ok, rebate is a trick

Nice Bundle
The copy I purchased of Kworlds ATSC 110 tuner came with a special copy of Snapstreams PVR software known as Beyond TV.Beyond TV is without a doubt THE BEST PVR software on the planet.The version that came with it requires a subscription to the TV guide feature, but if you are a current owner of version 3.x your existinging key will make this version 3.8 work without subscription and still retain TV guide.The Card dropped in and installed with little trouble.Snapstream 3.8 installed over 3.74 without issue.However it does require Windows xp SP2.If you don't have SP2 and Directx 9.0c it will stop you to install it.I connected a mediocre indoor antenna to it and it found 18 out of 20 stations, 10 of them were strong enough to auto add them to the list the other 8 weren't strong enough but would likely have worked with a better anntenna.The performance of the card under snapstream was disappoint under my hardware.amd 1.9 ghz, 512 meg ram, ata 100 drive 320 gigs.The playback cpu load was reasonable but the playback kept hickuping.The record function would produce corrupted files every time.If I can fix the problem I'll write back.All in all it was still work the money for the cheap entry into the ATSC realm.Oh, and there were no newer drivers or software available at the time of writting this but I think this card just came out. ...

Don't waste your money
Do your self a huge favor and do not buy this product.The tech support is awful, purchase a MAC or if you have a PC get the CANOPUS ADVC-100 it is much better and will work with Windows Movie maker.

Okay, but buggy
Like all video editing equipment for your computer, you'll need a state of the art system. If not, expect to run any rendering overnight. The software is much slower than other programs out there for video editing. Also, make sure you've striped your tapes before EVERY record, or else the box will lock-up frequently. Once you've got everything in place, a systematic way to create your projects, and know how to overcome the poorly designed GUI, the box works great! Oh, and once you've got a stable version running, don't upgrade! This is a flawed product for a hefty price, but if you want to save your VHS tapes to DVD, it works (I've been using it for about six months now).

Pleasantly happy
I bought this product hoping to edit my home movies and it was fairly easy and intuitive.I'm happy I got it and I'm sure I'll be using it a lot more to start editing my movies and burning them to dvd. ... Read more

Very Satisfied!
This device is great!All I wanted was the ability to watch a TV program on a small window on my notebook screen.I got that and a lot more.Resolution can go from 320 to full screen.Installation was a breeze, no touble at all with that.I have windows xp Professional SP2, no Media Center.All the extra features like 16 channel preview, time shifting, picture controls, still image capture, and storing favorite channels as groups are all icing on the cake.

Resulting MPEGs work only with Pinnacle
The capturing from VHS worked fine. Pinnacle 9 creates MPEG files from your captures. However, the DVD creation options are -horrible-. After the captures were done, I had several MPEG files that Pinnacle had created. I sold Pinnacle (and uninstalled the software), and then bought a separate DVD authoring tool with which to create DVDs from Pinnacle's MPEG files. To my horror and then I discovered that no other tool can edit the MPEGs. Windows Media Player can -play- the MPEGs, but nothing can edit them. Not Windows Movie Maker, not Adobe Premiere Elements, not Sonic MyDVD, and not Muvee. So, I had to buy Pinnacle's software all over again, just so I could convert their (secretly encoded?) MPEGs into a format that other tools could understand: WMV.
Dishonest company
Do not buy anything from Pinnacle. Their software deceptively leads you to believe that you need to purchase further programs to burn DVDs. I did so and got incorrect activation codes twice before requesting a refund which they have refused to give even though the product does not work and meets their advertised return policy. I have filed a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for deceptive trade policies and knowingly offering defective products.

Video editing is not as simple as it looks like.
Video editing is a little more complex than one thinks.

VGA splitters
Imagine you have $100.If you have to give it to only one person, that person gets $100.What happens if you must distribute the money to two people?
Nice idea...bad product.
This product does not work very well.I installed it in two different houses, on three different computers, tried all the fine tuning options, chanels, and troubleshooting tips in the manual.And it never looked even close to good.
Not compatible with Wireless Internet
Nice idea but it does not work with 802.11b or 802.11g WiFi. Even if you just have a computer searching for a signal but no access point active the quality is unacceptable.

Save your money, Do not buy this item!
The software Pinnacle Studio 9 which comes with the set is very user friendly, HOWEVER, the quality of the final video in either 3 settings (low,med, high quality, options which u can choose to capture video in) is Awful. The analog to digital conversion box (hardware)is terrible. Video looks fine in a very small screen 360x480, however when u enlarge it to regular size (full computer screen) it is very grainy, choppy, overall very low quality, not suitable to be burnt on DVD or CD for archiving or for later to be watched on TV o r Computer.

Can't beat it for the price.
The TV Tuner Card is a great product that is easy to install and enjoy.The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because the quality of video. If you unfortunately have to use a cable wire with this product then the quality kinda stinks.How ever if you are able to use the audio/video cables then its not bad at all. Also, the software isn't that user friendly.But the pros outway the cons and this is a good product especialy for the price.

Simple, multifuncional,cheap but excellent product.
This is not the first time that I get one of these. I distribute these in Guatemala. You can rec video in mpg and radio in mp3. It works in all the countries. It have a remote control with most of the funcions. You can resize the screen. You can digitalize your old vhs because it has rca conectors. The price is very cheap but the quality is excellent.

Quite a good card.
Though I've had some troubles with finicky drivers, this TV/FM tuner card is quite worth the money. The program it comes with, QuickTV, generally works quite well. The remote works pretty good too, though it doesn't seem to work with anything other than this company's own software, which rather annoys me. ... Read more

Pinnacle 500 USB is worthless
While this product has been advertised as "simple" and "easy-to-use", it is actually slow, buggy, and completely useless.I purchased this so that I could burn DVD's from the video I record with my Canon ZR200 digital video camera.I've encountered nothing but problems and frustration with it.First of all, the USB connection from the product will simply disappear while I am capturing video (and this is after the 10.5.2 version is installed).Then, if I get lucky and am able to capture any video, the DVD creation fails every time.Of course there is no error message or troubleshooting information to explain why the DVD creation fails.This isn't to mention the extreme slowness of the application.Do yourself a favor and do not buy this piece of junk.

Works as I expected for the cost
The Pinnacle Studio 500 USB Version 10.0 captured analogue video as I expected and the cost was moderate.
Product not as expected.
Be prepared for a 30+ minute install on this application.I hate the fact that it loads so many 3rd party applications. It also installs the .NET 1.1 framework.Not only do you have to enter the product key to install, you have to wait for an email and enter other keys just to get other components working.
