VERY NICE TRANSACTION [Posted on 2008-04-07]
I LIKED THIS PRODUCT, I CAN WATCH TV ON MY LAPTOP, RECORD DVD MOVIES FROM MY OLD 8 MM VIDEO CASETS, RECORD PROGRAM'S TV SHOWS.. THIS IS A NICE PRODUCT FOR A GOOD PRICE..

Read instruction FIRST [Posted on 2008-04-16]
I tried installing the tuner/capture box like any other USB device and I got the Blue Screen of death when winXP install the driver(s).
I did a system restored of windows xp.
I then used the installation instruction that Sabrent sent with the box.
I did a step by step installation and the Sabrent TV-USB 2.0 tuner/capture adapter works perfectly. Good quality picture and great sound. The only negative so far is that it did not include the two AAA batteries for the remote and it would be nice if Sabrent included AV cables, but cables are not needed for TV operations. Like all (4) Sabrent items I own they all work perfectly. (computer - Dell D600)

junk [Posted on 2008-04-19]
This thing does a junk job. I hear some have gotten it to work, and kudos to them, but they must have PHD's in computer programming. This is not a user friendly product. After two days of downloading Vista drivers, testing, and retesting, and setting it up, I got absolutley nowhere - and I am pretty learned in computers. It is not worth the hassle for the low quality it is. You get what you pay for - I sent mine back. Sorry Sabrent, better luck to you on your next product.

Beware [Posted on 2008-04-19]
If you want to record the game console like PS3, beware!! I tried several times to record from ps3 and it's not work. However, this device work on gamecube, so I have no idea why this one does not work on ps3. I used the same setup for both console. If anyone can help me to answer, I will be very appreciated.
