Title: A waste of money
Review: I bought the WinTV tuner to use primarily as a video capture card. Frankly, I believe using a computer as a TV monitor is a waste of a good computer. I intended to use the WinTv-PVR 350 to convert video tapes into digital format but when attempting conversions the computer freezes up. I have lots of RAM and plenty of room on my hard drive. The longest capture I have managed so far is 15 minutes, but most range in size from one minute to six minutes. After spending a day splicing together the fragments of a VHS tape I converted with the 350 and which I then burned to DVD, I discovered the quality of the image far below DVD quality. It is far below video tape quality.I am willing to spend some real money on a good video capture card but it isn't the WinTV 350. It's not useful as a capture card and it's too small to be a doorstop.
Is the review positive or negative?
