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

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.
