Great card for media center PCs that only take low profile cards! A low profile adapter is included in the box. I'm using this in an HP Slimline in place of the modem in a PCI-E slot. I picked this card up after returning a Pinnacle USB tuner stick, which does NOT work with Windows Media Center on 64 bit Vista. The driver for is on the AverMedia website. I can't address how it would work with any other media app, but it works fine with Windows Media Center. Installation seemed to hang, but after a reboot, WMC saw the card right away. Analog cable is working well. I haven't tried ATSC or digital QAM yet.

this card came only with software, and although it ran fine on xp after two weeks it just died. I thought it was my video card as it shut my puter down. I ordered a new video card and went to my old puter. and of coarse put my tv card in the old puter. it was the tv card.

It is difficult to rate this since I only have one other tuner to base this on. I did have severe problems in the beginning with resolution in Windows Media 2005 version. There was severe sudden flickering, but was fixed once I chose a different screen resolution in Media Center settings. However the resolution from my Starchoice box is not very good. It is quite a bit worse than when the box is hooked up directly to my 42'' Plasma. All this being said, the card does what is says it does. Has anyone compared this capture card to other ones sold here?

This card did not perform for me as described. It can recieve and display HDTV and SDTV content over an antenna very well. However, once hooked up to my Comcast HD Digital Cable, the performance was severely decreased. SEVERE ghosting in any format (SD or HD) almost to the point it is unwatchable. I am using Vista Media Center with nvidia GTX260, dual core proc, and plenty of RAM. Avermedia customer service was no help. BOOOOOOOO to this card (my experience so far).

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
