 TV stick success October 3, 2008
Mr. Leslie Fitch (UK)
If like me you have wasted good money looking for a USB TV stick that works with Windows Media Center in Vista, then look no further. The Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-T works perfectly. Just install the drivers provided on disk and away you go. Can't tell you about the WinTV software as I didn't install it, but it does work well with Total Media 3 software, which I also use.

 Very good... August 2, 2008

I am shocked this has received so many negative reviews. I have had it for a couple years now and I think it is very good. Paid 25 for it at PC World. True, the software is a little fiddly but once installed it works very well. As another reviewer commented - it doesn't matter how much you spend on the TV tuner if your ariel/reception is no good. It also works with the Vista Media Centre and in Linux. A bargain for 18 delivered!

Seemed like a good idea at the time but basically it doesn't work very well if at all. It seems to depend not only on where you live but also whether you can/want to plug your existing TV aerial into it. While this is understandable there is not enough of a warning on the box or in the accompanying "spin". Does explain why it's being sold off so cheaply though! Buyer Beware
Useless March 12, 2008

I bought this because i wanted to digitise TV programs to watch on my iphone. It's currently sitting on my shelf, unused and useless.
1/ I have a webserver installed on my laptop. Amazingly, the software for this device wiped my webserver, and installed its own over it. This is inept, lazy, careless programming and has caused me a lot of problems. Sofware should NEVER do something like this without explicitly warning the user, but there was no warning whatsoever. I was just left wondering where my webserver went!
2/ The software that comes with the prodict, which supposedly should allow me to schedule recordings is unusable on my Dell Latitude D820 because for some unknown reason, the 2 buttons that kick the process off are cropped off in their window, meaning it's impossible for me to press them! More lazy, un-tested software!
3/ Finally, since I couldn't schedule a programme, I tried to record a programme live. Ths was a complete failure. Only a few minutes were recorded. It was a very strange experience, and I'm guessing that if I left the software running for a few hours after the programme had finished then it might have succeeded, but this would have been way too much hassle.

I purchased this as i wanted to record freeview programs, as my PC is relativly new I did not want to break the warrenty seals to install an onboard card.
I have to admit that I have this linked to a full size antenna situated within my loft space. I decided to use WMC to control the device so have not installed the win TV softwear so far it has provided prfect picture and sound quality and along with the WMC tv softwear and EPG fullfils all of my requierments.
