TV tuner with problems

Puntos Fuertes: relatively easy to set up. Cheap.

Puntos Débiles: does not seem to work with Vista after it has been upgraded with service pack 1. May also have problems with XP and its service pack 3.

If you have installed Service Pack 1 for Vista you will not be able to install the driver software for the TV Tuner/Video Capture Box supplied on the Sabrent website for Vista. You can install the supplied XP software in Vista sp1 but the sound will not work properly. The stored signal quality is marginally acceptable for standard definition TV sets. The price you pay reflects what you get I...

Good value for the money

Puntos Fuertes: Great video quality even when blown up to 1680 x 1050

Puntos Débiles: Remote control has to be used fairly direct (line of sight) in relation to receiver

I needed a video capture card. I am a professional composer with nearly Mil in equipment. Tried using a Pinnacle Movie Box. That was a disaster!!! Tried every trick in the book to install in a brand new, absolutely top of the line laptop that runs very efficiently. After a few hours of trying to get it to work, the audio was constantly out of sync and the video rarely locked-up properly. Went to...

Sabrent USB 2.0 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box with Remote Control

Puntos Fuertes: Stylish Design?

Puntos Débiles: Problematic TV Tuner (described below)

When I first saw this TV tuner from Amazon, I was amazed about what it could do given its specifications and price, as well as reviews given by users on TigerDirect. However, things didn't go so well when the item arrived. Opening up the box ----- Umm, well, I was quite surprised that when I opened up the box that they did not include ANY cables any all! Despite how it said Left and Right for...

Average TV Tuner

Puntos Fuertes: Work right out of box. Good quality for the price. Fairly small and lightweight.

Puntos Débiles: Remote not great, Sound pops and clicks when watching programming. PC must have the mins listed otherwise no tv.

Average TV Tuner

This TV tuner is not the best on the market, and makes no such claim so don’t expect to have a perfect picture or sound.

On the other hand if you are in a similar situation as me and need something cheap and quick that gets the job done this might very well be the product for you. My experience started off frustrating until I realized that the box really did mean USB 2.0, do not even attempt to install on system not so equipped. While I did not suffer any ill effect from installing on my 1.1 system I almost wrote this product off and returned it. After correcting my mistake I connected it to its intended system, my laptop. Follow the instruction and all should go well, although there are a few things to note:

1. this device is not compatible with anything except WinXP and WinXP home, as stated on the packaging and Company website.
2. this device will not run on a machine equipped with less than USB 2.0
3. this device require DX 9.0c do not run on machine that do have this, your video card does not necessarily need to be DX 9.0c compatible, my isn’t.
4. follow the instructions included, remember your serial number is on the cd sleeve not on a separate sheet.

If you make sure you have these things at a minimum you probably will have an easy install. Others be prepared to fiddle to get it to work.

Some things to consider, you should adjust the setting in WinDVR (brightness, contrast, etc) this will make a dramatic difference in picture quality. I have this attached to my satellite receiver and the picture is pretty good, this is through a 30 foot composite video cable, I have my audio hooked up to a surround sound system.

Problems: Ya there are a few but nothing that ruins it for me.
1. sound seems to have some static and the occasional pop/click noise; solved by running thorough surround sound and not the device.
2. the remotes range suxs, no solution :O(
3. Documentation is very light and novice user will find this annoying; for instance no instructions on what certain remote control buttons do, (note do not press the power button on the remote as this will turn off your computer, lol.

Overall this product saved me from having to buy a tv for my kitchen, since I use my kitchen as my home office this was a perfect fit and allows me to eat and watch the evening news. YMMV of course but I think if you keep your expectation in check you will be happy with this product, consider this I spent $100 for an ATI capture card that does the same thing and is only marginally better.

Inexpensive gadget, mediocre video quality

Puntos Fuertes: Price, easy to install, compact size and remote.

Puntos Débiles: Mediocre video quality.

As I installed on my laptop with USB 1.1 port, the application software caused a fatal error and forced laptop to reboot. Add insult to the injury was the DVD/CD combo driver was disabled. Had to re-install the DVD/CD combo before I got the software correctly installed the second time (don’t know why the first time not working). However no signal was received except screen flashing, probably...
