 Rating:  - You need a fast CPU to run it smoothAfter installing and updating with the latest drivers it worked ok. But I had some problems with the Windows Media Player (Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate)running the scanning for channels which crashed Windows everytime. Somehow I did get it to work and had the next problem. The Live TV did start but after a couple of seconds the picture did stutter and then froze. Even after checking and installing the latest driver for my videocard this would go on and on...I have now a faster CPU (AMD x4 630) and it seems to run smoother but the stutter still happens once in a while. I am close to give up and even contacting the so-called customer support from AVMedia did not help to solve anything. Would not buy it again... Rating:  - Very NiceWorks very well. I use Directv and could not get it to find it so I ordered an Antenna form there site for under $11.00 including shipping. Hooked it up and presto I had 64 channels along with local weather. I ordered it mostly to get Radio Stations but after ordering the Averty I found out WMC will pick up radio signals without anything. I am very happy with the device and would recommend it. Rating: - Avertv Hybrid Volar Max Tv Tuner Kit for Windows MTVHVMXSKI've been waiting to get a TV Tuner for a while now, and after much research and review reading, I decided on this one. So I got it, connected to my laptop ran Windows Media Center, went to the TV option and Scanned Channels. After 5 minutes, started watching HD channels. That's it. Quick + easy. Notes: No antenna is included nor is software (drivers or TV viewing application), but personally, I already had an antenna and used Windows Media Center as Software. No drivers where asked, Windows 7 did that on its own. HW: HP Laptop OS: Windows 7 RAM: 3GB VideoCard: 128MB (shared) Rating: - Windows 7 Plug & PlayI am using the tuner on a laptop with Windows 7 and Media Center. In this environment, the tuner has been a true plug-and-play. The picture is extremely clear. No complaints whatsoever. Depending on your setup, it may also be worth investing in a remote. Rating: - Awesome, may buy anotherI purchased this product expecting it to be something I would use to avoid arguments over the TV. I figured the picture would be just OK. I was wrong. I don't even bother with the television anymore. I have 2 displays on my PC, so I can watch TV on one while doing stuff on the other. I can record shows when I'm away or too busy with life. It's great. The quality of the picture is incredible. I think I'm going to buy another, so I can have true DVR functionality on my PC! When it arrived all I had to do was attach the cable feed and plug it into a USB port. Windows 7 installed the drivers and when I opened media center, media center walked me through the rest. media center took about 15 minutes to scan through all the stations I get and setup, but then it was done (and that includes downloading a 2 week program guide for my cable provider.) I was actually impressed, even amazed at the simplicity and quality of this product. Highly recommended! |
