Any USB tv tuner/recorder is going to be laggish because its USB. USB is not meant to consistantly stream video, so you will get unmatched video/audio and glitches when capturing. Best bet is to go with PCI capture card.

Value Good for the money but product is not worth the money. Got it installed to a 3.2 GHz machine voice does not match and video playback is slow and jagged that is if your able to actually get a video feed. NOT RECOMMENDED

I got this hoping to watch TV on my computer and i have yet to get it to run right. The thing blue screens all the time and when it does run the voices never match the lips when they talk. Don't waste your money.

I bought this USB TV Tuner to get TV on my laptop. It's doing the job BUT: I have WinXP with 384Meg RAM , P4 - The tuner software ( ADS Media TV) need too much resources for the computer (121 Meg RAM). - When I listen the TV, I always hear random ''click and pop'' sounds... So, it's doing the job, but I think there is something else better.

What You Should Know

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.
