Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sabrent USB 2.0 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box with Remote Control - TV-USB20
Customer Review: Something wierd about this product
Summary: 1 Stars
OK, I'm in the camp that can't get this thing to install. Blue Screen of Death/Reboot on THREE different computers - both a laptop and 2 desktop machines, all with completely latest updated Windows XP. And I'm an extreme expert on computers and software, so I tried all the tricks without success.
But some of the reviewers actually can get a picture. I'd love to get that far. But it is weird, because it wouldn't work on three different machines. All used nVidia graphics boards, so perhaps that is the issue?
So maybe it will work for you, and maybe it won't.
Customer Review: Super cheap, works great for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I found a great deal on this for about $26 with shipping. I plugged it in, installed the drivers and the software and everything works great, remote included. The picture quality isn't the greatest, but it's fine for just watching tv while I'm working on the computer and it's so cheap that I can't really complain.
I had the PCI card version of the sabrent tv tuner first and it worked great for me too. I think people with older computers have most of the problems because from what I've read the software has issues with anything other than Windows XP Pro.
Customer Review: not so usb
Summary: 2 Stars
software installation on winxp sp2 locks the usb box to a specific port, and you can't change it to any other port. If you do, it'll ask you to re-install the driver again, and reinstallation will just fail. It's also not happy with my on-board realtek audio device, you still get the sound, but you wouldn't be able to control sound volume from winDVR. In general, I don't think the software is properly tested with the box, totally ruined my first impression with sabrent. They'll need to send me a good product for free in order for me to buy their product again.!!Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite all of the bad reviews I bought this product and I love it. The quality could be better. The Remote Needs to be pointed right to the box.
The Recording is good. The Pause and playback could be better but for $30.00 it is a decent tv tuner. I don't know what people are saying "this product destroyes your computer" or whatever. So Forget the people who say. "Buyer Beware". I also don't reccomend this product for laptops from the reviews from other sites. Overall I think it is a very well designed peice of hardware and the software is easy to use.
Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
After much tinkering, I finally got this thing to work. The video was not very good, and the audio was punctuated with static. The device would display this way for about 30 seconds, and then cut off. To restore, one must unplug the USB connection and then reconnect it, which yields another 30 seconds of mediocre video.
The only positive thing I can say about this is that Amazon makes it easy to return it at no cost to me. Living in Hawaii, I expected to have to pay as much as the original invoice to send it back. Good job, Amazon!
