5 of 5Great Value and Nice Features... Monday, August 15, 2005 Chris from Jacksonville, Florida
I have an older model of this, but it has the same features with the exception of MPEG4 recording. This is an excellent PVR card at a very low price. About the only drawback is that it is not a hardware based encoder, so it will somewhat take over your PC's resources when recording. I have found Intervideo WinDVR v3 to be a nice addition with better PVR featuers than the default application. The company website has some language translation issues, but it is still easy to navigate around, get some medium level technical support, and download the latest drivers. If you don't want to spend a lot more money to get a PVR card with a hardware based encoder, then this is an excellent and reliable choice.
