Great card!
04/23/2009
This review is from: DViCO FusionHDTV7 RT GOLD HDTV/Analog TV Tuner Card
Pros:
1} small size means it should fit next to large video cards.
2) great over the air reception
3) qam reception is crystal clear
4) software is good and included.
5) low enery use and low heat.
Cons:
You cable company and the content providers. This is not a knock on the card, but many cable channels are now encrypted so you and I can't see them without renting a device from cable company and can't record them either. There are now some solutions coming available, but a home theater pc, for all of its potential has been severely sabotaged by the content providers and where a $50 card should be all it takes for cable only, over the air is included because that is only signal that has not been really blocked in some way. This does diminish the value of all TV tuner cards and takes away our rights to fully enjoy technology. Our gripes should not be with these cards, but with those that have stripped down our right to use these cards to their fullest potential.
Overall Review:
If you need help, the avsforum is a great place to go, simply scroll down to home theater computer discussion and topics from which cards to use for linux or xp or vista are well supported and there is some very good advice available.
I have moved my various tv tuner cards around in different rigs I have built and this one finally allows me to use a card in machine that one would not fit in previously next to older 7900 GTX with one of those thick Thermaltake after market coolers. It really helps that card ends at end of pci slot.
