Not worth the money

If you are funning VISTA or a Mac this thing works great! Ok, this thing doesnt work well in XP I'll admit that. I have used it on my macbook for about a year using Elgato EyeTV 3 and it performs beautifully. It works equally well in Vista's media center

Easy to setup. All I had to do was plug it in. MCE just detected it and I was watching TV in 10 minutes
