Windows Media Center Computer

Hooled it up to windows vista computer and it picked it up right away to work with windows media center just like I wanted it to.

I've installed this tuner in my ancient HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop with Windows Media Center installed, and it's working flawlessly. The only minor thing is that Windows 7 won't recognize the tuner automatically, and therefore you'll need to install the drivers manually plus reboot the machine at the end of the installation process. If you already have the Windows Media Center configured with a different tuner then you will also need to manually run the TV setup again which includes providing the zip code, scanning for the channels etc. The dual tuner eliminates the need to change the channel to record something while you're watching a different channel. I've not noticed any performance issues when WMC was recording two channels at once, and this is running on a 2007 laptop with 8Gb of memory. In summary, this is a must have product if you are using Windows Media Center.

Plugged it in. Instantly recognized. Set-up and interface with Windows Media Center was very easy.I have yet to record anything but the quality of the HD video was impressive. I won't toss the old SVHS machine yet but this is definitely a great update!

Windows Media Center PC in a low profile case only had 1 slot for a 3.5 hard drive. I wanted to store my recorded TV (PVR) to a larger capacity hard drive but maintain my Windows 7 to a smaller SSD. This was the ideal way to get both the SSD and larger laptop hard drive into 1 space.

Bought this for our family computer. Mostly media center but the kids use it for homework too. Nothing too taxing, just Word and Excel and Google docs.  To future-proof, I got it with 32Gb of RAM.  You wouldnt think you would need this high-end spec for a family computer. But we have found the 10s of milliseconds of faster response really changes the user experience.  It is literally a delight to use this fast computer because response times are so quick.

I bought a second one of these because I purchased a second headless media computer, this time on Windows. This dongle works perfect and gives me all the resolution choices I need for remote operation of my machine.

I needed an all in one for my media center and this works great!

The absolute center attraction in our new Media Room.

I could not upgrade the firmware from Godox through my windows 10. So after a computer professional looked over the situation said that Windows 10 would not recognize the upgrade due to the time Godox wrote the firmware upgrade. He used Windows 7 and the firmware upgrade worked.

Exactly as described. Works flawlessly on my windows 10 server running my Plex media.
