Good enough for me.Strengths: Good picture quality. Reasonable price. Weakness: Sound quality is not spectacular. Can't use webcam while using TV tuner. Get's quite warm. (not HOT, only warm) I purchased this PCMCIA card to use with my laptop while I am in the dorms at college. As most of you can imagine, dorms are really small when you have two people sharing it. The card works reasonably well. It has TiVo like features and can record live TV as well for later viewing. 88% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

avermedia good/badStrengths: Watch TV on your laptop, play PS2 on it without lag, listen to radio. Very easy to install. Weakness: the screen resolution is bad when you fullscreen it. cant really play a game like that... I got the card, and i was so excited. but when i started it, and played a game, i had to play on a lower resolution. But it serves its purpose, watching TV. 57% of readers found this review helpful.

Avermedia, MTVCARDBUSStrengths: Easy to install Weakness: Very, very warm. Shuts off This card was easy to install like a million other items on the market. However, a Quick Install doesnt impress me much anymore. give me quality that works and I'll spend all night hooking something up if it lasts. This card gets really warm and shuts off when its too hot. Probably wont last. I'm not taking a chance so Its going back.. Sorry.. 0% of readers found this review helpful.

Keeps Shutting OffStrengths: Can't get it to stay on long enough to see if any.. Weakness: Poor quality product... This is my third one in two days. When I take it back tomorrow, I'll just get a refund this time. The software that came with the card doesn't work, so you have to DL it from AverMedia's website, then the card will work fine for 2-3 minutes then shuts off. I've tried three different units on two diffierent machines running XP and got the same results. Will have to try and find something better. :( Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Gotta have TV on your laptop right away? Here's what...Strengths: A snap to install and use -- virtually idiotproof. Does just about everything you'd want and takes little expertise to do so. Weakness: Glitchy scheduler and safe hardware stop/removal are bad marks against an otherwise near-perfect product. After bad experiences in past years dealing with video interfaces, this was a welcome relief. Installation lives up to the Plug & Play concept. Hooked it up to my cable TV and, presto!, was watching shows on my laptop. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

TV on PC?
Strengths: OK with cable feed
Weakness: Limited channels and gets very hot
This product would work where there is good antenna reception. Living in a major metropolitan area in California, I could get three (yes only 3) channels tuned and not with good quality at that. When I hooked up a Comcast cable, of course I could get more but I had to move the laptop close to the cable outlet or have wires and cables everywhere. Also other than the card getting really hot which may or may not be a problem, the major issue I had was the size of the files when recording. With a 20GB HD, I was still concerned about recording a 0ne-hour program. Finally, it is compatible with XP which will soon be replaced by Vista.
