Customer Review: Worked with 1 computer I tried it on, not with one with Vista
Summary: 2 Stars
You might want to refer to my discussion on this product.
This tvbox worked with my XP system, but not with my Vista laptop. I think -I'm no expert though, it has something to do with the HDaudio driver not being WDMcompatible.
The support hasn't helped me at all so far. Very generic replies and they haven't replied to my latest support request.
If you want a tv tuner to work with vista media center I recommend you look for one compatible at microsoft marketplace. This one is definetely not compatible.
Customer Review: Works, but can't reccomend it.

For the price, it can't be beat as a way to watch TV on my PC monitor. But included software is far out of date for this type of device and the software didn't even come with the code required for activation - had to find it in a less-than-legit place online. Hadn't really planned on using it as a PVR so I can't speak to those functions. It is a rather old Pentium 4 machine that I use it with as opposed to a multimedia powerhouse. If I had a nice media PC, I would shop for something in a higher price range rather than muck around with this.Customer Review: Not a perfect solution...

After MANY attempts to make it work and then understand how to use it (as it doesn't include a good user manual), I could fainally record my first TV show but only in WMV format, as when I select the MPG option, it shows an error message when trying to record (and I have installed K-Lite pack with all drivers).
Now I'm using it to record some TV events for my personal video library.
By the way, third party software, like Pinnacle, recognizes the device and you can use it to control this TV Tuner/Video capture box.
Customer Review: It's ... OK ...

I used this a lot on my XP based DELL Inspiron 640m laptop. I was able to record sound and video of old VHS-C tapes, convert them to video files, and upload them to Google Video. The quality was not fantastic, but neither was that of the original source tapes that were twenty years old.
Now I have a Vista based DELL Vostro 200 (desktop) and I can get the video and take screen shots and such, but no matter what I do--NO AUDIO! Very unhappy. I'll update this review if I can get it to work, with details on how.
Customer Review: Buy another product !!!

I had purchased this product for use with my laptop computer, only to find that it did not work well with it at all. If you use it with a desktop computer, however, it will work fine, but finding this out defeated the purpose of my purchase. InterVideo's tech support about this product was not only lousy but left me with the feeling my self-esteem had been somewhat diminished after the (long-distance) telephone call. I found it wiser to get my money back from the vendor and return this product instead.
