Title: a good card, video quality is ok. but the original software is trash
Review: It is a basic TV card only, no digital, no HD, mono sound only, and no hardware MPEG2 decoder. You CPU will be busy 30% off 1.8Ghz. It is just for standard free to air signals or basic cable services, of couse not for satellite signalsI had a hard time installing the original sofware time too. But when I switch to the famous freeware "Dscaler". It works like a charm. So the OEM software is real trash.DScaler can not detect the turner chip by itself, You have to choose the turner "Philips 1236D input1 [ATSC/NTSC]" manually.The video decoder is Bt878In general, it is a good basic analogy-signal TV card, functions just like a basic TV.
