Visiontek TV Wonder HD 650 USB Reviews
REVIEW BY: John Reviewed Mar 23, 2008
Device works great with Vista and Media Center. Just make sure you use a good antenna - just as you would with any HDTV tuner. I have multple tuners in one system and all work well with Visiontek TV Wonder HD 650 USB tuner also. Internal PCI based tuner is from Dell and is a dual Angel Standard Definition tuner. Another PCI tuner is the ATI HDTV TV Wonder. Purchased the USB 650 HDTV Tuner as a second HDTV tuner and plugged it in via the USB cable, went to the ATI site and downloaded the latest drivers (never install the drivers from the CD's as they are always out of date), rebooted the PC with the new drivers and then went straight into Media Center's setup for TV signal and let it do an automatic setup and everything has worked great. I can now watch HDTV and record at the same time or have two differnt extenders watching HDTV at the same time. Visiontek TV Wonder HD 650 USB tuner is on my short list if I ever setup another Media Center PC.

The box works okay most of the time, but once in a while it has to be rebooted for no apparent reason if I have it hooked up with S-Video. Also, the included software did not work with the capture box--had to use Beyond TV instead. Think twice.

Looses HD Picture constantly. As a result, when you schedule a recording, you have no idea whether Visiontek TV Wonder HD 650 USB will record or not. As a result, DO NOT use this device as your PVR. When it works, it works fine. When it does not, it is a total waste. Mine works about 10% of the time. No support from ATI - so in my opinion, i just wasted $150.00. It took me longer that 30 days, so I am stuck and will throw it away.

The drivers of this USB device are very sensitive to lost of communication. Any accidental disconnection of the usb cable or the power adapter can crash the computer. If you buy it for DTV, well... be sure to have a strong signal before scanning for channels because this box, or the software that comes with Visiontek TV Wonder HD 650 USB will not help you. Good picture quality, bad bad software...
