Pros: very simple to install and use. nothing complicated. i really like the attachment that allows you to transfer old videos/video cams to your hard drive. i love how i can just sit at my desk, study, use the computer and have a game playing in the background!

Cons: the main hardware does seem to get a little hot. kinda makes me question how long these things will last. other then that, no issues as of yet.

Overall Review: someone mentioned that newegg didnt include proof of purchase card - needed to upgrade to eyetv 3 - well, i think that person just had badluck. i received mine today (ordered 2 days ago) and i had everything i needed to upgrade the software to eyetv 3. only took about 5 mins. no hassle. also, i was told that in the next year or so, analog will no longer exist - going strictly with digital. not sure how accurate this info is, but better safe then sorry. no brainer. all about the HYBRID!
