Summary: works fine on AMD
Review: Contrary to the other review here, this board works fine on my AMD Athlon (1.4ghz). Decent video quality, not quite as good as the ATI TV-Wonder but half the price, much better than equivalently priced USB TV tuners.

Summary: Easy to install. Easy to use.
Review: I installed the card on my Windows XP machine, it went in no problem. Two minutes and I was up and running. Also, for the less computer literate, it comes with excellent step by step directions. For the price you can't beat this tv tuner. I highly recommend.

Summary: Poor Video Quality -- Will Not Work w/MCE
Review: My main gripe is that this card WILL NOT work with Window's new Media Center Edition. You have to install it first to find that out. Follow that up with poor video quality and a totally inadequate web support function and you have a device that's below average.

Summary: Great low-priced TV card
Review: This is a great little TV card, you can watch TV in a resizable window, on up to full screen. You can capture video (provided your PC is fast enough to keep up). It has a coaxial input for cable, and an RCA connector for a camcorder for example.On the downside it only does mono sound, which is fine for most people, but the reason I gave it for stars instead of five is the way it connects to the soundcard. A cable is required to attach from the audio out to the line-in on the soundcard. It would have been nice to have the option of using an internal cable for sound cards that could support them, or a line-in pass-through so that you can connect something else to line-in without unplugging the TV card. The reason that this is annoying is because the back of the PC is usually hard to get at to change plugs. Still, this is something that won't affect everybody. I would still recommend this card for anyone looking for a cheap TV card. Works perfectly with Linux also.

Summary: only for systems with pentium and celeron cpus
Review: this product is not complatible with motherboards that use AMD and other CPUs that aren't "intel-based", i.e. Celerons & Pentiums. The real fine print for this in on the last page on the install manual. One the box it says a requirement of "pentium processor 90mhz" but that kind of description has been used on every other product too and for the most part, you can run those products with other CPUs and etc. So I guessI ran my luck on this product. *sigh*

Summary: + Easy To Install-Run / - Poor Audio-Video Quality
Review: To begin, I use an eMachine T3025 (equipped with AMD Athlon processor)running Windows XP Home Edition. + Out of the box, the WinTV tuner was easy to install. The installation booklet dictated what is to be expected when first installing the driver. After that, the program was easy to run and setup. - The video quality was similar to watching a VCR recorded show without the annoying white lines that pass through the screen,to say the least it was poor. The sound quality of the tuner only came in mono, and to say the least AGAIN poor. It was a good buy and easy to install and run, but the major downfall was its poor video and audio quality.
