REVIEW BY: supersims9 Reviewed Jun 24, 2008

Cheep. The coaxial dose not pick up anything from cable, the RCA connection is bad and blurry with other signals going through it, the audio is tricky and dose not work on a direct connection, the product is not supported by media center, and is over all not worth the money. Save it and buy something better.

Sabrent TV-USB20 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box has worked well and reliably for me for some time on my XP. I recently upgraded to Vista on my desktop and unfortunately, even with the provided driver on the manufacturer's website, I'm having trouble getting it to work.If you're looking for a device for your XP computer, I highly recommend Sabrent TV-USB20 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box device. If you're going to be using the device with a Vista system, you might as well get an alternative.

I found it easy to setup at the time. Remote didn't work however. I tested recording with it and Sabrent TV-USB20 TV Tuner/Video Capture Box was TV quality.

This device does what it's supposed to do. But if you're the kind of person that don't read instructions, stay away from it. On the manufacturer's site, they ask you to take so many precautions, it's almost like they expect something to go wrong during setup.Also, you'll sometimes get poor image quality but I found that toggling between inputs solves the problem.All in all, a tricky device that'll get the job done with some patience and careful handling, but at this price, you have to expect a few hickups...
