Rating: - Works great
I have only used this product for about a day now, but so far it has greatly exceeded my expectations.I have tried TV tuners in the past that caused the video to be choppy and unwatchable, but this bad boy can handle recording two shows at once (while watching another video) while simultaneously downloading files at 250K/sec and running a radio stream at the same time.

The unit is slightly larger than one would expect (nearly a foot tall), but it is well worth it if you have the ... Read More
Rating: - Adaptec AVC-3610 Dual TV Turner PVR Kit
Please beware; this product does not plug and play for my computer: Inspiron E1505 support by Microsoft EXP. Also the installation diskette does not install a driver, in order to facilitate use of same product. In addition a message related Microsoft Media Center generally appears, however I was unsuccessful in searching the internet for a suitable driver for same external TV tuner. It is very unfortunate that Amazon is associated with this product. I would appreciate some level of technical support ... Read More

Nothing but good to say works both in vista media center and windows 7 media center and is a true analog duel tuner unlike some of the other ones out there that say they are but are not.The only possible draw back is it does not have digital signal capability and is larger than most tuner's.

Running Windows MCE with Beyond TV 4. Already have a NVIDIA DualTV PCI card and wanted to be able to record more shows simutaniously. The Adaptec Dual TV works great and you CANT beat the price.
Rating: - Adaptec Dual TV Tuner
Works great, easy to setup except that the FM plug and one of the TV tuner inputs are the same color. Since my eyesight isn't very good, I assumed that the two black inputs were for the TV and the white one was for the FM tuner. I was wrong. The bottom two are the TV tuners. Once I got that right, the setup with Windows Media Center was easy and works great. I have two, one on a XP desktop and another on a Vista Premium laptop. With my eyesight who needs HD. Great price on Amazon,I spent more on a single ... Read More
