Visiontek TV Wonder HD 600 PCIe was hard for me to rate Visiontek TV Wonder HD 600 PCIe... first my pc specs:Win XP4600+ AMD dual core4 GB DDR2 RAMNvidia 8600GTThe card started out working very nicely, i recieved cable channels and HD channels without an antenna! then things went bad. it seems like the channel guide slows the thing down.. sometimes to a halt, so that needs to be disabled. another thing that bugs me is that you need to pick either digital TV OR analog TV, you cant switch between both very easily. Catalyst software seems like absolute junk. There is an error everytime i shutdown. The big plus about Visiontek TV Wonder HD 600 PCIe is the remote, I love it. it can control lots of things besides the catalyst media center. I like it for music.Do not buy this card if you have XP, i think its made more for vista or media center OS.

Im running this on a KFA2 8600gt as well.. i will agree this thing has issues.. catalyst updates the program listing everyday for 30 min. and during that time there is lag, or you just cant use the tv at all. Also the audio and video do not match up. There is usually a 1-2 second audio delay, despite me using a 24bit sound blaster card. I have 4gb of 677 mem and a pentium 4 that runs at 3.4 ghz. I would say it works well about 30% of the time. The rest of the time the audio lags, the chanels and volume take 5 seconds to adjust or whatever.. Good luck on this one

Wonderful card, works excellently. But be aware of the packaging quality. I bought mine, and inside the product box (not tiger's fault) it seems that visiontek just tossed the remote, reciever, and card in a cardboard box. My first one was broken, two capacitors snapped clean off. I am currently using this in Windows Vista Home Premium Media Center, and man is it good. I absolutely love having media center in the top right corner of my internet page so i can do 2 things at once. (currently watching the Pittsburgh Penguins!) I have yet to try the software that came with it. I love the tv guide feature built into media center. Overall great card. 2 on quality only because it took 3 weeks to return and get a new one.

I have a 8600 GT XXX, E6550, and 2 gigs on RAM on windows XP. Plug in this card thinking it would work flawlessly. Well that certainly was not the case here. The Catalyst software that came with it constantly crashed and was very slow. I used Windows Media center and it took 5 seconds to change a channel and the audio never matched video. Called the company and after 1 hour on hold on a Tuesday at 1 P.M. I finally got ah hold of tech support. They simply told me that my computers hardware was not good enough. No troubleshooting, no''did you try this?'' just ''Your computers hardware is not good enough for the card. If you would have just bought the 650 for more money it probably would of worked.'' Not recommended. The funny thing is a took the TV tuner out of the old 2004 Dell and it works way better than this P.O.S.
