Nope

Supposed to have clear-QAM, but doesn't. This is a future feature - have to wait for Pinnacle update in November.

Does not work in Win XP Media Center Edition.

Does work in Vista Media Center, but the visual quality is lacking.

Will not download anytype of guide..

Overall, is slow to respond, and the onboard software is lacking.

I have a lower-level AVerMedia tuner that's leagues better.

Decent product, works well
Reviewer: AV from Chicago, IL on Jun 12, 2008

This was easy to install, the stick is fat but the USB extension makes sure your other usb ports r not covered by the tv stick. The antenna is decent, picked up analog & digital signals. Digital channels slow up my PC because they r HD.
Remote is tricky,works at times or just takes time to send signal. Other than that, its a good buy, kind of pricey but still decent. Programme guide only for digital channels sucks for analog channels. NBC is tough to pick up in analog along with some others.

Dude, DO NOT BUY, IT TOOK ME 3 HRS TO FIGURE THIS OUT

The picture was static, the sound wasn't horrible. It locks up your computer. Installation is horrible. Take it from me. I read the rest of these reviews and I didn't believe them. Then, I found out for myself. wow....It is absolutely horrible.
