Leadtek HDTV200 H TV TUNER

Pros: Digital / Analog TV on your computer, Remote Control, Works well with VLC media player as well. Plays is surround sound stereo on my system. CC display works!

Cons: TV guide function does't work as far as I can tell. I have a P4 2.8ghz with 64MB AGP video 1.5GB Ram. I can watch analog TV fine, but my computer is too slow for watching the HD channels in FullHD 1080 resolution. Too choppy on this system. I would assume you need a more modern setup to get a good result with this (3.2ghz HT CPU with agp 8x or better) Any basic Dual-Core processor with PCI-E video card would be fine.

Overall Review: Good buy for the money for a PCI card.

Pros: technically it works? digital quality is ok.

Cons: analog quality is very grainy, to the point were i dont want to watch it. even with my dreamcast/xbox on the composite connectors is too bad looking to enjoy playing. can not map both analog and digital channels, must map one at a time then rescan. does not work with media center on vista. was not worth the savings, just get a quality tuner card and avoid this headache. some digital channels lag dispite being in a system with a 2.8ghz tricore, with 8gb of ram, and a 8800gts 512.

Overall Review: at first i thought the problem was noise from my 8800gts but after swapping it into 2 other computers i realized its just bad quality tuner card. and after i get a better one it will be a nice $55 paper weight.

Pros: Card is very good. So far, no complaints.

Cons: none

Overall Review: As others have mentioned on similiar cards, if you don't disable your anti-virus and firewall (why, I don't know on this) you will have problems. Sound would cut out when I first installed. After reinstalling the second time and disabling A/V and my firewall, no problems. I use it to record to HD. I burn with Nero.

Pros: OK price

Cons: Dual coax inputs No Comcast

Overall Review: I really needed a PCI tuner and this was the cheapest I could find. This card picks up OTA digital well. The tuner is not tolerant of low/weak signal at all. My Hauppauge is far superior in every respect. Recording with this card pegs the CPU ~35% (Athlonx2 3600+ 2gig RAM WIN 7). Live and playback is slightly lower at ~25%. I simply could not get the tuner to pick up cComcast. I tried it all. No joy. This isn't special Comcast either just the cheap $5/mo bundled with internet. I'm quite certain it is not digital. My old TV picks it up but not this card. Really strange.

Pros: Cheap, Does HDTV, other than that, not much to say about it

Cons: has issues with windows media center every so often, included software sucks and remote doesnt work half the time. composite video lagged and stopped working after a bit.

Overall Review: its an ok card but i wouldnt by one again

Pros: Bought from Newegg 1 year ago and it's perfect. The HTPC it's in is used non stop and it's been flawless. Plugged in, MCE ran it's channel scan, and was done. Also a well designed remote makes my "tech ignorant" roommate happy as well.

Cons: none

Overall Review: The included viewing software is garbage, but you should be using either windows media center or myth TV anyway.

Pros: The card is very inexpensive and does a great job compared to other cards I've seen that are a driver nightmare. This card works great on XP, Vista, and even 7 without doing much work. Setup and channel search is very easy and only takes a couple of minutes.

Cons: I don't know who had the bright idea to have the TV software focus on the primary screen without a chance of moving it to a secondary, so if you watch TV you'll have to do your work on one of your other screens chasing your task bar and icons.

Overall Review: Functions take a minute to figure out but no biggie.

Pros: Easy to install, just be sure to follow the instructions included on the CD-Rom (not the paper manual that comes with it). Resolution is great on my 47" TV. Compared side-by-side with the cable and barely noticed a difference.

Cons: TV Guide feature doesn't work for analog channels.

Overall Review: Time-shift causes a lot of lag with the digital channels, but not with the analog. I turn this feature off and get better results on the HD stations. For the price this card can't be beat!
