Worked with alot of tweaking
Pros: No need to add addition software to your computer for TV recording, viewing, FM listening, etc.
Cons: Took me a while to get this working the way I wanted. I had many issues with it crashing, and freezing up. If you have a AMD X2 processor, make sure you pick up the AMD Dual Core Optimizer from AMD and update your chipset drivers on your motherboard. Once I did this and all of the windows updates, Windows MCE ran fine!
Pros: Got this when it was on sale. It was worth the price I paid. The cherry wood frame is nice
Cons: The screen is not the best. Since it is a small screen, people tend to look closely at it and the pictures and you can easily see the pixels.
Weasle out of Warranty
Pros: Card worked great for me for over 2 years
Cons: The fan went bad and since I did not register it 30 days from date of purchase, XFX is trying not to honor their Lifetime Warranty. I have all of the original material that came with the card and it does not state anywhere that I have to register it in 30 days. It also does not state this anywhere on Neweggs product description page so how was I supposed to know this.
Overall Review: If you buy a XFX card, register it immediately or this may happen to you. Very poor warranty support. If they do not honor this Warranty, I would not recommend purchasing from this vendor. I will update my review when I get the final answer from the company
Pros: Works well, cheap and has LightScribe.
Cons: The last LITE-ON I had died after a bout 2 years. A disc shattered inside.
Media Center PC
Pros: Runs everything I need it to on my Media Center PC
Cons: None
So far so Good
Pros: Works out of the box on a cable connection. I prefer the Dlink user interface compared to others I have setup
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Bought this for my Girls apartment. She was having issues with a year old Netgear and her Macbook Pro. Has not had any issues with it since I installed it.
