Bought this for my new laptop that I'm using more like a desktop. Connected it to my Comcast cable after I installed a splitter at the input to my modem. Plugged into the USB port and opened Windows Media Center (windows 7). It took about a half hour to configure and scan all the channels but when it was done all the channels I expected to get were there.....the analog stations like ESPN, Comedy Central, etc and HD versions of all my locals. The guide data loaded up in WMC and I setup a couple of shows to record. Other tuner cards I'd had in the past for desktop computers did not go this well, so I'm very pleased.
What's great about it: Picked up all the channels i expected flawlessly
