Pros: Reliable handling of HDCP, awakens correctly from standby mode, excellent detail and color rendition, smooth and clean video, no fan, very good utility software, excellent price, easy install.

Cons: Haven't gotten the HDMI audio to work yet (and yes, I did install the latest Realtek driver software). This isn't a big deal because I can get 5.1 channel audio over the SP/DIF optical link. It may become important if and when I get a bluray player with hi-def audio.

Overall Review: This is my third video card for my HTPC and the first one that handles hi-def video correctly. My previous ones (Gigabyte and MSI, both using the Nvidia chip) were frustratingly unreliable in their inability to handle the DVI/HDMI interface consistently. I would have given this a 5 if the HDMI audio worked, but the video performance is so good it's a 4 overall

Pros: Has all the desirable features

Cons: The write function quit working after burning 3-4 discs. I'll be returning it.

Pros: A single input for 2 tuners, excellent price, installed easily and without problem, performance is excellent. Sensitivity seems to be very good.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I own 3 ADSTech Instant HDTV tuners and have used them for about 3 years. The Avermedia produces results that are every bit as good as the ADSTech and combines 2 digital tuners on a single PCI-e card.

Pros: This board does everything well. I've never had a minute's trouble with it. My e7400 2.5 GHz CPU overclocks to 3.1 GHz, All of the USB stuff works perfectly. I'm using XP 64 bit and the combo is very stable.

Cons: There's one hidden trap in the setup process. When you load the OS, don't have anything plugged into any of the USB ports except a keyboard and a mouse. Otherwise, the USB drivers won't load correctly. Took me a phone call to their excellent tech support to find this out.

Overall Review: This is the best mobo I've had in years. Everything works and works well. I'm beginning to suspect that many problems I blamed in the past on Microsoft were actually mobo/BIOS problems.
