Purchased Hauppage 950Q while away from home on business. Installed in minutes on my Windows 7 Home edition laptop; searched and found 7 local broadcast channels. Watching TV within 1/2 hour of start of install.
Wasn't sure how it would work in my home location; live outside of town kind of down in a valley. Erased the channel database and scanned for my home channels; worked great, got FOX, CBS, NBC, PBS and another local METV station that I didn't even know existed! I also installed product on a 9 year old Windows XP Pro desktop, my children bet me it wouldn't work---works great! No problem with install or drivers.
One thing I've noticed is the appliance does heat up with use. I'm going to purchase another so those at home can use it when I'm on the road.
What's great about it: Works great, does what it claims, get's back a Dish Network!
What's not so great: Does heat up on use, I don't think it'll burst into flames however!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really love this device. Do not use the software version 4.6 or 6.0. These versions will not work with Vista. They will slow down and crash your computer.
Instead, go to the Hauppauge support page and download their new 7.0 viewer. Also while you are there, download the Media Center Plug in.
Titan works best when scheduling your recordings. http://www.titantv.com
Click the program you want to watch or record and the software does the rest.
I have it hooked into my Comcast Cable outlet and gets the high def local channels.
Make sure you run QCAM for cable stations.
The antenna that came with the unit is worthless. Need a better antenna.
What's great about it: HD Picture / DVR recording and Scheduling vIa Titan
What's not so great: Hard to set up...but once you tweek it, it runs great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

With the right antenna this thing will work great. This worked great on my Windows 7 Media Center. I returned it because I wanted to be able to record and watch at the same time. I would recommend if you are not going to record or watch overlapping show schedules. I was very impressed.
What's great about it: Easy to use, great performance
What's not so great: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been playing with HD tuner cards ever since the very first Hauppauge HD card, with its awful 'Janus' Windows driver. This thumb-sized device is every bit as capable as any PCI(e) card tuner. I still wouldn't use it for a permanent installation because the standard high-quality RG6 RF cabling can lead this little unit to tear up its fragile USB plug too easily. The included USB extender is good to use. I carry a short length of more flexible coaxial cable, and gaffer's tape to prevent things from coming apart at both ends.
I regularly travel, staying at chain hotels and corporate guest suites. I have yet to see one equipped with a HD TV set. What I have discovered is that there is QAM HD content coming out of many of those cables. Now that I have a wide screen laptop, I picked up this gadget so that I can watch local TV programming in full HD glory. Still no joy with premium channels, of course.
I live VERY close to the antenna sites of all of my local TV stations, and expected to be able to use the included 'stubby' antenna for OTA broadcasts. No such luck. A length of bare wire works better. Maybe Hauppauge can find something that supports VHF frequencies better, like a helical design.
The bundled software is the best Windows software yet from Hauppauge. But it lacks a program guide, with no replacement after Hauppauge dropped the so-so Gemstar Guide+. This is a major omission! Fortunately, this device is supported by open source PVR software that do include program guides.
The included remote is a bit weak. That's an acceptable price to pay for being so small. I suppose that I could try a full-sized remote from a PVR-150 card...
What's great about it: The size!
What's not so great: RG6 Cable w/ This
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not surprised, with the easy setup in Windows 7, worked

Simple, works just fine

Works great in Win7 x64 Media Center. Worked right out of box. Count on needing a "real" antenna in most locations (not what comes in the box...) Frees up space inside cramped mini tower, which in my case was running quite hot - so more circulation room was better.
What's great about it: Works great in Win7 x64 Media Center.
What's not so great: Nothing. Wonder if I could hook up two?

My VCR quit. New VCR's no longer include tuners unless you want to special order one for well over $400.
This little gadget looked promising, and Hauppauge's web site promises it will work with Linux, so I got one yesterday. My $275 Toshiba Celeron Windows7 laptop made a flawless 2 hour recording of a movie last night while I was sleeping. I opened the file using Avidemux in Linux to cut before show, after show and ads and the finished mpeg looks great.
Bottom line $83 once for this little device that lets me keep a recording for my own, legal use or $20+ every month to the cable company for their "decoder" and a limited storage DVR... It's a no-brainer.
What's great about it: Easy set up, files can be edited.
What's not so great: Hasn't worked in Linux... yet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
