Windows Media Center Recording Black Screen

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.

I bought this because I get all my tv over the air. Recording a show necessitates using the dvd recorder, and it's getting old, and is not truly reliable. This tv tuner worked as soon as I plugged it into the usb port on my computer. I hooked up to the coaxial cable from my attic antenna, and I get a better picture than I do on my regular tv. It picked up all the channels and using it with Microsoft Media Center is easy as pie. I like Microsoft Media Center better than the software that came with the device, but that software works OK as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to cut the cable and still have a personal video recorder.

I bought this as a second tuner to use with my Plex media PC. The recording quality is great for over-the-air broadcasts (OTA). Plex manages the two tuners with no issues. I had been keeping an ancient Windows 7 PC running Microsoft Media Center around because I hadn't found a suitable replacement for it. Plex TV does a great job with OTA and the TV schedules on Windows 10.

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

The absolute center attraction in our new Media Room.

Best recording media next to cards!!

Plain and simple...SanDisk is the only brand I use for all my media recording.
