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.

The software for this product is no longer supported. So if you buy it and the software doesn't work you're out of luck. The original provider of the software was bought by c-o-r-e-l and they don't support it.

I got this item to capture home movies and put them on a DVD as presents. It took me two days to get it actually working because the drivers kept crashing my PC. I finally just used the drivers that XP selected from the hardware install wizard. Had to mess with the software that came with it a bit to figure out how it all worked. The software errors out and does not allow you to save a video if it suddenly picks up a broadcasted frequency (i.e. home videos were recorded over old episodes of Punky Bruister so it took me a couple tries to stop capturing before it went into the old video). Took me about four days to successfully capture all the videos and create a DVD. It should've taken less time than that, but I can't complain for $25. Haven't tried the tuner. I'm neutral on this device except for the complexity of the installation. That part was very frustrating
Poor Choice

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.

Communications Commission at 1-888-225-5322 (TTY: 1-888-835-5322) or visit

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.
