DIAMOND TVW600USB ATI TV Wonder HD 600

Pros: I am very happy with this little gadget. I use it mainly to watch live broadcast TV in HD and ocassionaly for some light video capture. I must say this is working better than expected with my Vista Ultimate Media Center. I have a T61 Thinkpad with 2GB of RAM and the picture is smooth and very crisp.

Cons: Installation is a bit tricky. The initial Catalyst installation on Vista completes quickly but it fails to fully install ATI drivers (or is unable to properly detect usb card). If same happens to you look for Drivers folder, run setup.exe file from TVW_HSUSB folder then run Catalyst setup again and choose modify option for driver installation.

Overall Review: If your computer does not have Media Center one can be installed from CD, look for MC folder (MC option is not available on the main installation menu).

Pros: Using this to watch TV on my office PC(CNBC) while daytrading. It is very easy to install. Software is much,much better than my old TVWonderUSB 2.0 it replaces. Software setup was a snap on my MCE2005XP. Picture has a some adjustments that improved the picture to a very acceptable level after a little fiddling around. Set picture quality to Best. Running 4 gigs of GSkill6400 and a Hd2900Pro,(all from the EGG!)

Cons: I hate the rebates,never seem to get them right.Missed dates whatever. Newegg please send me my $20.00,right.

Overall Review: My old TVWonder used 50% CPU,things would get hot after prolonged use. None of that with this,may be due to better VGA and extra, I dunno. Oh.and the there is no need to plug an electrical adapter to this one. That's nice,one less thing plugged into the powerstrip.

Pros: Comes with the A/V cables to connect to cable and satellite boxes. HDTV-capable.

Cons: Antenna that comes in the box is semi-cheap yet does the trick.

Pros: This is a pretty good tv tuner, I also have an older ATI tv tuner but this one get HD so its pretty good. The media center does a pretty good job imitating XP media center and it has a nice touch to it, so you can access your music, videos, and watch and record tv. It comes along an antenna and if your in luck you get local HD channels broadcasted that you can tune in and watch, but the HD will take a little bit more CPU power out of your system.

Cons: The Remote is pretty cheaply made so hopefully ATI starts shipping out better remotes for these tuners. I have a laptop that has a 1.6 pentium m processor and a gig and a half of ram yet, it sometimes takes a while for the tv channels to switch between one another. It probably has to do with my processor again but the sound and video doesnt quite sync up like a normal tuner does .

Pros: Small, Compact, Very good Antenna. The software (ATI) seems to work well.... I spent about 3 hours watching it tonight and it is very impressive.

Cons: The PCI / PCI-E cards seem to be better in sensitivity than the USB ones, but hey, it is small, compact and is a great little tuner for on-the-road TV.... just what storm chasers need (I do that too),

Overall Review: The ClearQAM is a bit overrated.... most of the cable channels are locked out anyway (despite what the FCC tells the CATV companies to do. You really won't miss anything with this USB TV adapter!

Pros: Wow - easy install (on Vista ) virtually plug & play I was able to get all my local channels in Analog and several non-local channels in Analog-- Switched to Digital one channel/fuzzy/pixilated but was able to get all local digital broadcasts and one non-local channel ( I consider local within 50 miles of my home & I Live in the "Sticks" in Kentucky

Cons: Long install time - have patience

Overall Review: Recommend to others as an emergency replacement TV in Bad weather

Pros: It's a decent tuner. Picture is decent, signal reception is decent, and sound is decent. Can't ask for much more.

Cons: Changing channels can be slightly slow, but that could be due to my computer rather than the tuner.

Overall Review: Find a good place to put it so that it doesn't get knocked around or bumped since the tuner is a little bulky sticking out from a usb port.

Pros: Not much.

Cons: Trying to set up TV viewing on an HP Pavilion Laptop with P4 2.8 GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, and 128MB Video Card, and Windows XP SP3. USB unit was not recognized during the install. Software asked for SP2. Couldn't find any fixes on Diamond website. Found USB drivers on VisionTek website. After install, audio was fine, but video was completely unstable. Diamond Tech Support was no help. They gave me a link to ArcSoft Media Siftware, and told me that if it happened again that the problem was with the unit. Needless to say, it happened again. I have since returned the unit, and am researching for another one.

Overall Review: NewEgg is the best when it comes to satisfying their customers!
