Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Adaptec TV Tuner
Sorry to say, the tuner never worked with XP Media Center 2005. I am returning the item for credit. I gave it one star since I couldn't select anything less - I would rate this item as minus five stars.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
This is the coolest thing in the world if you are never home. I have this hooked up thru regular coax cable devided into this unit so I can record two shows at the same time. This is the second one I have purchased I thought the first one was bad but it was my computer so after 4 years the first one still is working fine. Vista has a problem sometimes with this but I did the sp1 and now it is working again.

Record two shows a once while watching a previously recorded show.

The installation ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Bother! Not Digital Ready!
This does not support the new digital (ATSC) transmission so on April of 2009 it will go dark. They really should be giving them away at this point. The interesting thing is that they don't tell you this in the description and by law every retailer is required to post a notice on anything with an old analog tuner stating that it will not work after April 09. So don't even bother.....
