1 out of 5 stars Adaptec TV Tuner   October 7, 2008
David Colson (Bristol, VA USA)
Sorry to say, the tuner never worked with XP Media Center 2005. I am returning the item for credit. I gave it one star since I couldn't select anything less - I would rate this item as minus five stars.

This is the coolest thing in the world if you are never home. I have this hooked up thru regular coax cable devided into this unit so I can record two shows at the same time. This is the second one I have purchased I thought the first one was bad but it was my computer so after 4 years the first one still is working fine. Vista has a problem sometimes with this but I did the sp1 and now it is working again.

I split my cable to the TV and had this working within 10 Minutes.
Record two shows a once while watching a previously recorded show.
My next step is to see if it can control a Digital to Analog Converter box. If anyone has already done this, please post.



1 out of 5 stars NO SUPPORT PROVIDED BY COMPANY   June 30, 2008

Note to any possible buyers, I was told this product is no longer being manufactured. Their customer service representative advised me that these TV tuners are no longer sold by them and only left over items are being sold through third parties so they are no longer providing technical support. THERE IS NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT AVAILABLE. This was not good news since it's not working for me. I kept getting "loss of signal" messages with no video on My Media Center 2005 Edition. The installation was complete (I double checked on my system) and the cable worked (I double checked by attaching a regular TV and it worked just fine), I rebooted my computer - nothing worked. Also note that there is no manual included just the installation CD which contains a brief online manual with no real help in trouble shooting provided. I decided it was time to send an e-mail to them. No response. I decided to call and was advised that there was no technical support for this particular system anymore but there was telephone support available at $9.95. I'm not sure how this would help me if there is no technical support? The customer rep offered an exchange. She would e-mail me information on how to return my item with a shipping address and authorization code (shipped at my own expense) within five minutes. Upon receipt, they would mail me a new TV Tuner (so they must have some left after all?). Waited a while for that darned e-mail with the golden information only to discover that it did not have the information promised; instead, it is telling me to copy files and send them back for review. I gather to check if I meet system requirement (I do). Sent what was asked of me and have yet to hear back from them. I will not hold my breath as blue is not a good color for me.....

I'm sure glad I didn't have to pay $9.95 for the service I received (?), but I'm still out $100+ for the product. I knew I should have gone for the Sling Media Slingbox Tuner ( SB220-100 )!

This does not support the new digital (ATSC) transmission so on April of 2009 it will go dark. They really should be giving them away at this point. The interesting thing is that they don't tell you this in the description and by law every retailer is required to post a notice on anything with an old analog tuner stating that it will not work after April 09. So don't even bother.....
