    This is a good combo tuner card for HTPC or PC. The channel change speed could be better that's why I have 4 of 5. Whatever signal input it improves it with 3D comb filter other filter which makes especially cable signal look better. Recommeneded.      » READ MORE

    I got this card to replace a Hauppauge PVR-150, using WinXP (not MCE). Its a great upgrade. On standard Shaw cable, the PVR150 does not tune in several channels very well, resulting in a fuzzy picture, or ghosting, or interference patterns. This card tunes the same channels perfectly. Much better picture overall, with better color. Better sound level control than with the PVR150 too.       » READ MORE

    I'm pleased with this, as TV tuners are hit and miss with quality of picture , OS compatibility and can be hard to set the tuner. This unit is pretty much plug and play, a simple set up wizard helps set country settings and audio and Video settings. The quality of picture is good and I have to say I'm glad I bought this unit.      » READ MORE

    After trying the PCI version I thought it better to buy the PCI-E x1 version and save a PCI slot. After getting dinged the surcharge(15%) for restocking I take the PCI-E x1 home and find it is too long. Hits on a block coming from my motherboard(AsusM3A78-EMH-HDMI). Now I'm gonna have to pay again the 15% and carry on from there. I did try to get the demensions from staff at NCIX but opening the box to measure is not allowed. Also the PCI version had a much better composite to RCA cable, way better. Originally I had trouble with the PCI version, eventually getting it figured out myself. Getting help from Diamond!!! FORGET IT, REALLY FORGET IT. They have the worst customer support, it's been 3 weeks and I still have not heard back from them.Other than the acknowledging e-mail of your assistance request.      » READ MORE

    I ultimately will have to return this product because it would just not fit onto my motherboard due to the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe's heat-pipe cooling between the North/South Bridge chips. This card is very nice looking at it's sleek, slender length, and if it were not for the high demand for cards to fit into those Mini PC's 'half hight' boxes, than they would have probably continued to spread the design out onto a more stubby design that would have easily fit into this (awesome and popular) motherboard. If the heat-pipe wasn't a problem, than again this card would look very pretty along side the gorgeous A8N32-SLI Deluxe.      » READ MORE

    It offers above-average video quality compared to other tuners and it plugs into one of your rarely used PCI Express (PCIe) x1 slot. It is also smaller than most of the other tuner cards out there at the moment, so it is perfect for HTPC cases. It even comes with its own remote and receiver       » READ MORE
