Pros: Installation was quick and simple. Software left a little bit to be desired - try AVS4YOU instead. Transfers of shows from DVR to DVD with pretty good quality.

Cons: After about six months, card or cable (can't tell which) just stopped working. Win8 device manager shows card is working properly but getting no signal according to Avermedia software prior to card/cable failing completely, would start video capture and after some period of time, monitor would go blank. ctrl+alt+del would do nothing. Only choice was to restart pc.
