 Works flawlessly with LINUX Oct 25, 2008
Utilized with one identical card and one other HD card ($130). Cannot tell difference between the cards. Used with antenna and mythdora.

 Reasonable card, not-so-reasonable drivers. Sep 17, 2007
Reasonable hardware, not-so-reasonable drivers.
Just so it is all clear, this is a ATSC receiving card, which is the US way of spelling DVB, losing some features in the process.
Also, this is a BUDGET card (as used in DVB's jargon), which stands for, no video/audio decompression is performed on the card itself. All goes to the CPU. This, however, is the way Windows Media Center likes cards to be.
Finally, this card has no CI, pardon, CableCard slot. This does mean that you will not be able to receive value-added (conditional access) channels not even if you request your cable/sat company for a CA module.
This card performs to satisfaction in Windows Media Center (tried Vista, not XP), even with all its drivers problems (see below), so it is a good bet for that.
Drivers are BDA but of very poor quality! Apart from the card's own software and MCE, all other BDA-aware software I tried crashed on start, even DirectX SDK sample/test application! If you try it using SDK's GraphEdit, you'll also notice that a graph cannot be stopped and restarted - it has to be torn down and recreated, otherwise Aver filters will also crash.

Works right out of the box. Apr 10, 2007
The card was very easy to install. Integrates nicely with MCE 2005.
Gets great HDTV reception Mar 01, 2007
I had a HDTV and wanted a way to record the PBS shows that were only on the HD channels. I did some research on cards. I decided on this card for price and because the media center PC I bought came with AverMedia's analog TV card.
This card picks up the digital signals better than my Samsung TV (using the same antenna).
I could not get Windows XP MCE 2005 to work with it. When I went to a digital channel MediaCenter would hang. I am now using BeyondTV. That worked without any changes to the PC (except disabling MediaCenter).

Lives up to other reiews I have read Jan 22, 2007
The card installed without problems. The HD reception is very good. The signal strength supplied by an indoor antenna placed in the Attic bring in many channels with a strong signal. I am 38 miles from the towers and still get good reception. The interface to the MCE operating system was straight forward. The only problem I have is a video error on one channel when recording HD in MCE. Avermedia Support has been very helpful in trying to determine if this is their problem or the MCE. The error only occurs on the ABC HD channel and is still outstanding as of Jan. 22, 2007.
