The only thing that i can watch in Vista Media Center is the blue screen saying "Loss of Signal". However, it works great in Windows Media Center 05'.

I have been using Hauppauge PVR cards in my PVR for quite a few years now; I started with the PVR-350 cards, which lasted me about 3-5 years each. As they failed, I replaced them with these PVR-150 cards. I use the PVR-150 cards with Snapstream Beyond TV and they work great. The cards do tend to get a little hot, which I suspect contributes to a shorter lifespan, but $30 every 3 years isn't bad -- be sure to pick it up on sale. If you're buying it for the FM capability, watch out, it's not very good.

Put the PVR 150 into a Linux MythTV backend box. Now have streaming TV and recorded video to any PC or laptop in the house. Fits in the small Apex M100 chassy with an Intel Atom mini-ITX board. CPU load while streaming or recording TV is a low 4-6%!
Got this at a bargain price. It works. Even under Vista Windows Media Center. I lost my cable so the only reception is air using the supplied wire antenna which is o.k. for 3 channels. Can't compare what picture quality is like if one had cable, or a better antenna.

I would definitely purchase this again at $24.99. The software included is easy to use and set-up, although it is pretty basic and I will probably look for better software to replace it in the future.

I picked up this tuner for $35. What an absolute steal! I have 3 of these in my Media Centre box. Stupid simple to set up, and quality of picture is very good.

Purchased this card on sale ($34.99) back in October to use in a HTPC. Currently running Win MCE 2005 and had no problems installing it. Simply installed the drivers (no bundled software) and Media Center was able to detect the PVR150 and take care of the rest. So far so good.
It's not a bad card by any means. A pain in the butt sometimes with Vista 64 bit and 4GB of RAM- Media Center has a horrible picture, so I'm stuck using the WinTV program, which has far less features and it's interface is pretty ugly.
