they say it uses a system to look for channel that is not in the US or something. i dont know if its just me or this thing dont really work maybe i didnt install something right but it definitely didnt work for me. waste of money
It was fairly easy to setup as long as you knew the serial number it was asking for was printed on the CD case and not the one on the device itsself. You get what you pay for. I am using this product with my digital signage. It works well for the application i have it for but i end up replacing it about once a year after it goes out.
Although the software complains about compatibility problems, InterVideo WinDVR runs fine on W7. Nothing but static.
If someone finds an up-to-date driver, please drop me a note at mike-at-mpsharp-dot-com. Luckily the streaming software I'm using (BroadCam Video) doesn't have a problem with this, though the latest version of VLC does.BTW: Sabrent does have Windows 7 driver for the device on their website, but it won't install on Windows 7.
I was able to get the SVIDEO connection to capture the video, but I then had to pipe audio directly into the PC. Looking at the driver INF file, it came straight from the Chip manufacture (Trident) and wasn't touched.
Plugging in this device on Windows 7 automatically installs a driver called TV Walker QQ. The problem I had is I was not able to get the tuner to tune any channels off my cable connection (and I have another tuner that does).
I emailed their support, but I'll be very suprised to see a fix.
Would not work on any computer, I tried on 3 diffrent PC's windows XP, Win 7 and Vista.I downloaded the drivers from the manufacture website, but they would not work either.I could not change channel or get any picture at all. Low quality product.Save yourself the trouble, don't buy this product.
If I had a nice media PC, I would shop for something in a higher price range rather than muck around with this. Hadn't really planned on using it as a PVR so I can't speak to those functions. For the price, it can't be beat as a way to watch TV on my PC monitor. But included software is far out of date for this type of device and the software didn't even come with the code required for activation - had to find it in a less-than-legit place online. It is a rather old Pentium 4 machine that I use it with as opposed to a multimedia powerhouse.
