Tune in to live television broadcasts on your PC with this PCTV USB 2.0 stick and watch and record your favorite TV shows with ease.

I'm a IT I build PC's so more or less I know what I'm dealing with.
Ok first this unit runs on the hot side heat kills electronics tv-computer-your stereo. Next I run a triple boot computer something you cant get at best buy ;)
XP-Windows7-Ubuntu linux 9.10 . First I installed in XP installation was good. But WinTV7 would crash, tried other version and other older drivers all failed. Had Better luck in Windows 7 but still would crash not stable, must crashes would be after the unit got hot, as I stated above. Under Linux Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit I had ok luck but still did not find a program that liked this tuner. More or less I would stay away, from this product, the small the hotter it will run. Get a bigger unit that is well ventilated or go with a PCI model. The tuning was slow and took way to long in my opinion. I bought this on sale over the Thanks giving Weekend fo $50 it carped out in less then a week. Hope this helps you decide. The brand it's self does make a good product but this model is a lemon.
