(More customer reviews)So, I'm not sure what the other guy is talking about since I've had quite the opposite experience with this. You probably need to clean all that malware off your computer, or better yet, it's time to re-install Windows.
It was kind of a blind buy for me as I wanted something that looked integrated into the laptop. Fortunately, as long as your ExpressCard slot is the standard 75mm in length, it sits flush along the side of your laptop. I have it on my HP dv3t, but it sticks out 6mm since the Expresscard slot on the dv3t is 6mm short of the full 75mm standard length. Tried it with my old dv2000 and my friend's Dell and it really does sit flush.
Now, I refuse to use any third party program other than Media Center, simply because I'd rather not install any third party apps, and after trying Media Center for Windows 7, I can say that it's gonna be one heck of an act trying to write a program that'll out do it. Therefore, I only installed the drivers for the AverTV Express Mini, which went very smoothly. I loaded up Media Center, both in Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 RC 64-bit, and it recognized and configured it with very little interaction on my part. Best part is that it works with Windows 7 since that version of Media Center supports sub-channels whereas Vista Media Center does not. Media Center also recognized the radio reception with this thing.
With Live TV, over the air reception really depends on your location and you'll need to do some adjusting with the antenna. That, or you need to get an amplified antenna that'd boost the signal. I'm able to receive most, but not all channels. For the ones that I do receive, picture quality is AMAZING, especially with a 1080 signal. The best part is that my laptop has full functionality of a set top DVR!
There are other functions such as video input that this thing provides as well as connecting it to your cable box for unencrypted ClearQAM signals that I haven't tried personally simply because I don't have the need nor the resources to test it.
The only downside to this is that it gets HOT over time. That seems to be common among all TV tuners I've noticed. I've had the thing run for a few hours without issues. If you're experiencing video issues, it's most likely because you need better reception.
I have to say, this thing delivers! I'm very happy with it.
