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.

I can understand all the negative reviews. I bought it to transfer video tapes to DVD and I haven't tested the tuner yet, I don't really need it. Yes there were no batteries for the remote. Yes the documentation instructions are basically useless. After being unable to log on to makers web site or download vista drivers from anywhere, I opened all the folders on the CD. Lo and behold, there was a vista folder on the CD. After running all the setups I could find, it worked and I didn't need the requested serial number. Shot 11 years ago on a well used handycam, I didn't notice any quality loss in the transfer. Good thing I had a 2 RCA to stereo minijack cable around. You need to make sure you open the settings and choose the correct source, destination, and format. Not plug and play, not for the impatient.

Hi all, I got this TV tuner card just 3 days ago. The CD says its vista compatible, but it didnot work. I had to download drivers for it and finally got it work. But still remote is not working at all. Time between channel change is more compared to my previous TV Tuner card. Frankly speaking, if you can find another one even $10 more, go for that. I definitely dont recommend to my friends.

The features are great and so was the price. However it still is not worth the low price. I have it hooked up directly to high quality cable and its still fuzzy. There is a problem almost as if it is buffering every few seconds also. Fortunately the timeshift feature took care of it, just pause for a few seconds then play. Now its just there as a dvr in case i need it.

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.

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.
