Sabrent TV-USB20 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box
The Sabrent USB2.0 TV Box is the newest TV receiving and video capturing device designed for notebooks and PCs. It is an external TV/video receiving box that features a handsome design along with powerful performance features. It can turn your computer into mobile TV station, as the USB 2.0 TV box allows you to enjoy your favorite TV programs any time and anywhere.

This USB 2.0 TV capture box provides a video capture solution for notebook PCs. It captures 740 x 480 (NTSC) resolutions, creating high quality video that can be stored on a PC hard disk via USB 2.0/1.1. Users can watch video on the PC, while also capturing video to the hard disk drive of their notebook PC. It also captures stereo audio at 16bits, and at a 24KHz or 48KHz sampling rate. With its A/V synchronization feature, this captures video and audio at the same time. A professional "snap shot" function is also provided, specially, in order to capture 704 x 480 still images from a video source. With other user-friendly application programs, the captured bit stream can be transferred very easily to standard formats, such as MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG4 video, for editing and CD burning applications.

This USB 2.0 TV capture box also features a TV/Video Scheduled Recording Function. It also offers users a simple MPEG video editing program that incorporates a powerful encoding /decoding engine with a smart merge process for fast operation. Users can then create home video and record that video, and also TV shows, onto VCD using the USB 2.0 TV Tuner capture box.

Note: Vista drivers may be downloaded from the manufacturer's site.

REVIEW BY: BRYAN Reviewed  Dec 22, 2008
This card is what it is, a cheap tv tuner solution. Don't waste your time with the disk of drivers and software included. The included software and drivers blue screened my laptop numerous times and when finally got it to work, the coaxial cable input would not work properly and the remote would never work. My suggestion is to download the Vista 32 bit driver and software avabilable here http://www.sabrent.com/#section=Drivers&itemName=&itemID=0 And use the driver and software in this download, irregardless of using Vista or XP, it will work for both O/S and give you the use of the remote and coaxial cable input.

REVIEW BY: dizzybro Reviewed  Nov 14, 2008
I found it easy to setup at the time. Remote didn't work however. I tested recording with it and it was TV quality.

REVIEW BY: Braden Reviewed  Sep 17, 2008
This has worked well and reliably for me for some time on my XP. I recently upgraded to Vista on my desktop and unfortunately, even with the provided driver on the manufacturer's website, I'm having trouble getting it to work. If you're looking for a device for your XP computer, I highly recommend this device. If you're going to be using the device with a Vista system, you might as well get an alternative.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Jul 27, 2008
This device does what it's supposed to do. But if you're the kind of person that don't read instructions, stay away from it. On the manufacturer's site, they ask you to take so many precautions, it's almost like they expect something to go wrong during setup. Also, you'll sometimes get poor image quality but I found that toggling between inputs solves the problem. All in all, a tricky device that'll get the job done with some patience and careful handling, but at this price, you have to expect a few hickups...

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Jul 14, 2008
Upon receiving product there are no instructions. found vista drivers must be downloaded from manufacturer website. will not work with any of my 20 computers. vista machines just say fail to initialize. while all the xp machines all seem to reboot when activate desktop icon for programming that came with unit. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!! GET SOMETHING BETTER WITH YOUR MONEY!!

What You Should Know
Clear Your Mind of Cable Clutter
Got a new PC, but can’t figure out how to connect all the cables? We’ve created this handy little guide to simplify the process. Everything you need to know about connecting your cables is right here. No more guesswork! Now you can enjoy your system and save yourself all the headaches.

CONSUMER ALERT
This television receiver has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation’s transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.

For more information, call the Federal Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-5322) or visit the Commission’s digital television website at: www.dtv.gov

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago.  But the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0.  It is always a good idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.

Take Your Home Movies Into The New Millennium With Video Capture!
Now we have DVD players, Digital Video Recorders (DVR), camera cellular phones that record still and video images, home and office survelience cameras and the list continues to grow. But with so many types of video recording devices, how can we save it so that it isn't damaged, lost or simply fades away?
