Bought this in January '07 after checking Kworld's web site regarding Vista drivers. At the time their site promised Vista drivers would be made available. from Tigerdirect.com

Pros: Captures from DV/audio/TV/S-Video/composite, captures audio, DVR functionality, timed recording of TV shows

Cons: Missing installation guide may cause issues for some

The Bottom Line: The bottom line records re-runs of "Mr. Ed".

from Shopping.com Good quality product includes everything you need to get started. Quality is the best you can expect for standard television resolution, unless your computer/processor can't handle the load (not so good on 900 mhz, works great on 1.8 ghz). from Tigerdirect.com Works good, you may need to download user installation manual from Cyberlink for more details, it does seem to conflict with my new ''Trendnet'' wireless adapter though, I have to reboot or use XP ''repair'' function before the wireless adapter sees my wireless router. What a hassel, I'm going to install a 2nd HDD for a dual boot system, one for the TV tuner and the other for Internet. Small price to pay for compatability. from Tigerdirect.com THis card works perfectly. I installed the card put in the drivers and the software and it came right up with a very clear picture. I do a show on cabel TV and this has proven to be very helpfull in the making of that show. I highly recommend this card especially for the price.... from Tigerdirect.com Bought this for a capture card b/c I loved the drive bay in the front of my case. And from the looks of it, you could possibly use the bay with the supplied enclosure and have it external, meaning you won't have to use up a drive bay. Quality for TV is nice, not HD mind you but still good for the price. from Tigerdirect.com I will tell you it's nice to be able to watch tv on my PC. I bought this for the features. from Tigerdirect.com Great Product! This was the first TV Tuner I have purchased and I am very pleased. Everything installed really easily, the included software is amazing, and the channels change very fast compared to others that I have seen. from Tigerdirect.com This was my first time to venture into the video capture world, and K-world's video magician tuner card is just awesome. really quick and simple hookup. from Tigerdirect.com I have to say that this is one of the best TV tuner card i ordered. Easy to install and use. from Tigerdirect.com
