Review: First the cons: Full doesn't make the picture bigger just blackens around the image and keeps the size of the screen the same. Also on my computer it wouldn't let my modem work. The on-line help that I printed days before said tocheck with the ISP but I knew before hand they couldn't help me. What I ended up doing was unplugging the card and changin my modem's IRQ setting. That then enabled the card to be used. So I think that you will have to take a look at the IRQs and play with them (which windows says you shouldn't, but that is the easiest thing to do).But overall this is a really good card. Some of my channels come in blurry but that is due to my cable line, not the card. The remote control makes it conveninet to sit back in my chair and prop up my legs to watch tv. When I move I'm going to have the computer in another room so it will be nice to watch TV and play on the computer at the same time. Due to the Installation problems I give it 4 Stars.

Summary: Good TV card
Review: If you simply want to watch TV on your computer, this is a decent card. It was easy to install, comes with a remote, and has some nice features. It doesnt seem to affect my computer's performance while running, which is very nice. The video capture mode is a little disappointing, since the short videos I tried to record came out choppy and mainly unwatchable. The video files created by the capture were huge, although I assume you could shrink such a file using various divx encoders. In any event, I didnt buy the card for its capture capabilities, and if that is what you are looking for, I'd look somewhere else. If all you want is a TV tuner with remote, this is a good buy.

Review: it was very easy to install(did it by myself). I have a 21" moniter that i use for tv/movies/computer. The full screen worked great, filling up the entire screen. I have the remote control option, a (+). I also got the radio tuner with mine. I like the entire package.

Summary: Win TV
Review: This product does not have any of the cons ... It is easy to use and win tv 2000 (the progrm that is) is one of the best tv tuner applications there is. This card is inexpensive and more versitile than any other card in its price range. Im not saing the quality is great when in tv mode or full screen it looks alittle cubated. But its the best you can do for the money to get an equivilant card or better you looking to spend two and a half or more times what this card costs. And if your chanels are blurry thats usually due to the cable input touching the computer case.
