5Captures Standard Video Great-- Without External Power  Oct 16, 2008
I bought this so I could take my EyeClops magnifier on the road. While the EyeClops is fun, there's only so much to magnify within 10 feet of a TV. With this WinTV unit, the EyeClops, and my USB-enabled laptop, I can take the whole mess on the road and magnify anything that will hold still for 1/30 of a second. With the EyeClops running on batteries, and this unit running off USB power, I can take it to the park and magnify rocks, grass, insect eggs, moss, molds-- you name it! Best of all, I can make permanent digital photos of all the above. Loads of fun for the curious child and/or his dad.

4Video Capture in a Snap  Feb 11, 2008
Great little capture device - had it up and running in a matter of minutes. Only thing missing is a couple of holes in it to mount it to the back of a desk or something. Otherwise, two thumbs up!

Poor picture quality using a new 20 inch dell monitor.
All other functions of this item were ok

4Gets the job done.  May 05, 2007
If you're looking for a TV tuner which will give you a crystal-clear HD-quality picture and HD-quality recordings, look elsewhere.

But if you want a TV tuner that will simply let you watch TV on your computer without having to open up your computer, then the WinTV-USB TV tuner will suit your needs.

This product works perfectly with Windows 98/Me/2000/XP.

This product does work on GNU/Linux-based OSes, provided you can properly compile and install the usbvision driver (link to usbvision website provided below). Trouble is, the GNU/Linux-based TV viewing programs do not allow true full-screen viewing with the WinTV-USB; if you do try to watch TV full-screen with this on Linux, all you will see is a centered image in its default viewing area (if your screen is 1024x768, the TV program still thinks it's being viewed at 320x248). Not many GNU/Linux-based TV viewing programs work with this product, however. This product is confirmed by me to work with Zapping and xawtv. This product will not work with the GNU/Linux TV program called TV Time; in fact, using this product with TV Time will actually cause your GNU/Linux-based OS to completely freeze up, requiring a cold reboot. If you want a TV tuner that works perfectly with Linux, then get a TV tuner card with a PCI connector (from Hauppauge or AverMedia).
