I'm very pleased with it. I wanted something that was USB or Firewire because I have a Silverstone slimline HTPC case which won't take any cards. Also I can take it with me more easily when I go to France.
I set up a motorised dish and DVBviewer handles the (DisecQ &) USALS commands with no problem.
The other supposed advantage is that they have done divers for VMC TVpack but as it happens I have not tried to integrate them because I'm afraid it will all go to pieces. I currently record HDTV with DVBviewer - nowhere near as convenient as Vista Media Center I'm afraid. Actually it stinks but possibly I haven't got it set up correctly.
It is well built. You can get cheaper cards if you don't need an external setup. People seem happy with other cards too. |
