Device manager only shows the yellow "!" and says there was a problem loading the driver. None of the media applications recognize a tuner device in the computer. Filed a report with ASUS. We'll see what they have to say. from Newegg.com Pros: Media Center sees the card, see the stations and says there is tons of signal! Cons: When trying to watch TV it ALWAYS times out saying no signal being broadcast. I am sure there is a easy fix. from Newegg.com This thing is full of stuff you dont need or want. I wish I could give a zero egg review to it.... Other Thoughts: I like Asus but not this thing. Save yourself money and dont buy this junk. from Newegg.com Cons: bad ir receiver. Way too much bloatware. Other Thoughts: I generally like Asus, but was not impressed with the overall software intergration. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Customer,We appreciate your support in ASUS products and would like help resolve those problems you are experiencing with the IR receiver or using the TotalMedia software. from Newegg.com Pros: This card is the best TV tuner card I have ever seen! Quality is top notch & the software that comes with it works better than the media center software that comes with Windows. from Newegg.com the windows media player does not supprt digital stations or maybe not digital cable with out a box, maybe MS will take care of it soon. Also the fm radio software is the best I've found for tuning and editing. The side bar tv works great. I run vista ultimate 64bit x2 3.2gb processor 8gb ram 1tb external HD for recording to. from Newegg.com Pros: Comes w/remote, pops right in pci bada bing bada boom, decent picture not hd but but I knew that. Cons: software is not garbage like others have said, but for me it did not function properly with vista media center, now i dont know if this is Asus fault or not. When i did get it working for a few moments it was ok, but that moment didnt last long because of vista trying to take over. from Newegg.com The software includes video editing. Cons: No option to assign the remote to a specific program, when I hit the windows button both windows media center and the included software open up. Other Thoughts: Don't go cheap, if you are looking for a cheap way to watch tv, i wouldn't go lower than this, afterall, you get what you pay for. other than that, not using the software this tuner came with except for the video editing features. from Newegg.com Pros: - Picture with over-the-air ATSC is stunning.- Easy set-up Cons: - Do not under any circumstances install the media software. It's horrible.- Still can't get Windows Media Center to detect the FM tuner Other Thoughts: Does anyone have any hints how to get the FM tuner working in Media Center? I follow all the instructions (it says the FM signal will be set up after the TV signal - but never gets there). from Newegg.com Pros: this tv card rocks installed it boom drivers went in np running vista x64 sp1 ultimate works with windows media center perfect buy it its a asus cant go wrong Cons: best tv card out there for vista ultimate x64 sp1 Other Thoughts: none from Newegg.com
