Pros: HDMI, DVI, and works with SPDIF out from your mobo. I got this hook up with MSI G33MOBO. I also tested the HDCP support with my xbox 360 hd dvd player and I couldn't tell the difference with my xbox 360 using the hddvd and this video card with the xbox hddvd. Although this video card doesn't say its low profile, it works with my Ahannix Low Profile HTPC. I had to modify the brackets to fit in my box. The HDMI passes Video and audio to my TV. I know a lot of people was asking about this and it works! Automatic Live updates I never tried it yet for this card but I test it on one of the MSI utility and it seems to work! It's like windows update.
Cons: The only thing I didn't like with this was the manual. It only shows the basic installation hich is plug it in and install the software. It took me 1/2 a day to figure out which pins go to spdif and gr connectors to my mobo. I called the tech support and he has no idea with this card that it can connect using spdif.
Overall Review: If you buy this card and want to connect HDMI with audio, the cable that came with it has black and orange only. The black one goes to ground (GND) and the orange goes to (SPD) Check your mobo manual to make sure. DON'T connect those pins to the VCC or voltage of the SPDIF-out you might burn your Video card.
