5 of 5 Excellent tuner 3/9/2009
Dan from Boston, MA
I have two of these. No frills tuner, but works great, good value. OTA HD FTW! Avermedia released a new driver that supported vista x64. Fantastic.

4 of 5 good basic usb tuner 1/14/2009
from oakland,ca
Just use it for free digital signal with table top antenna.
On stations that it can receive, it is better than Artec 14a (hold the signal better). On more distance stations, it fell off the cliff (worse than the Artec). The driver is OK and stable. The TV software AVerTV6 is bad. The recording does not record sound (incompatible with my soundcard). So get yourself Totalmedia3 or Watchhdtv and you're fine.

5 of 5 So much better than the first time 1/3/2009
from Mpls, MN
My first Aver product was a 180MCE card that I still use. VISTA (sucks) was still fairly new and the Aver software wasn't ready for it. TO Aver's credit they admitted it up front and said use VISTA's media Center (MCE). I did and have been using the 180MCE card for a couple of years. Decided to try this as a third tuner (three don't work for VISTA MCE without some tweaking) as my Hauppauge 950 was adequate but suffered from similar software issues. The software included with the Aver Volar was the expected nightmare but a phone call (yes, they actually have useful phone support) pointed me to a working version that is a viable alternative to MCE. Also nice if you want a couple of channels going at the same time. Someday MCE might offer PIP with multiple tuners but I'm not holding my breath. I have some HDTV reception challenges in my area but both the Aver and Hauppauge products get the job done (with an adequate outdoor antenna and amp)

5 of 5 Work very well, depend on location 9/24/2008
Tim from Louisville, CO
The product works very well, it receives all but 1 channel that
I normally received. When I move my laptop to other locations,
the reception can be good and bad, it depends on the TV signals
in the location.
