Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Video Capture & TV Tuner Cards
I've used a variety of USB type tuner cards on laptop and all-in-one PC. This card if for the desktop machine, and there is rather less clutter than the USB dongles. It's a simple PCIe card, so it's trivial to install in the PC. However, Window 7 did not find any drivers for it, nor were they included in the package. I found them on the manufacturer's website, but not without difficulty. On the plus side, they installed cleanly and without fuss. Now the bad bit. Windows Media Center does not like too many tuners. It knew about the four tuners, but petulantly refused to use two of them. In the end, I used Tuner Salad to zap WMC and now all is well. WMC is quite content to record from four channels simultaneously. So far, after several weeks' use, there hasn't been a single problem. Overall then, it a good product. It does what it's supposed to do. But it isn't cheap and I've kept the drivers very safe in case they disappear. An update after 2 months use: Time to be fair, this thing has been flawless. Not a single issue with it after two month's solid use. And really, that's all I can ask of it. So I'd recommend it to others.Read full review

It is very quality manufactured card. It comes with a low height bracket for ITX form factor. It is a tiny electronic wonder. Drivers are easily found on their web site and have been updated lately.
