Once again ATI drops the ball. Being pretty handy with a computer I figured I could get this installed and running in no time. Having had problems with ATI before I double checked the system requirements on the side of the box just to be safe and everything looked good. I get it home check my drivers and install this little "gem". Heres where it earns its one star. The video looks very good, however no sound. I already knew that ATI's customer service department was lacking (and surprise no help once again!)and after spending several hours checking drivers and reinstalling I've decided to return it. Please people read reviews (lots of them!) before buying a card for your computer. My system requirements should of made this a slam dunk but ATI's inciompatability probelems rear their ugly head again!

I had the worst 2 day of my life trying this #$%$& card work.The quality is so poor and I tried to fix everything. Finally, reading the reviews I realized that it's not an installation or a computer problem, it's a product problem and an incomplete description from ATI for the system requirements.BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

If I could rate this card 0 stars I definitely would. I'm pretty adept with computers so something as minor as installing a tuner card didn't seem like a big deal. If I could build/setup a mythtv box from scratch with no problems I definitely didn't think this could be a challenge, but was I wrong. The drivers out of the box didn't work at all. After installing newer ones from ati's website I just kept getting an error with ATIMMC.exe. This was the first time I'd ever bought an ATI card and it's definitely going to be the last. Always avoided them cos they tend to have problems with linux but I guess they can't even get their cards to work in windows and to make matters worse their customer service is woeful. I always look up reviews before buying anything but this was a spur of the moment buy. Well, what can I say - Lesson learned!!!

THE SOFTWARE IS THE WORST EVER!!! To be honest I dont even know if the card is good or not because of the damn software!! Everything installed softly until Multimedia Center started installing...the installation process just closes itself right in the middle of it..I tried EVERYTHING!!! went on ATI website, uninstalled all my current ATI drivers and software and reinstalled the newer ones still NOTHING , called customer support i did EVERYTHING they mentioned and still Multimedia Center DOES NOT WORK!!! Unless you feel like staying up til 5am trying to get this stupid software to work I reccomend this to you! Please, PLEASE dont waste your $50 on this unless you have a good Radeon card...

i do r&d;, testing & technical support for a software company. i bought this card because it was inexpensive, but i sure got what i paid for. the bundled sofware is terrible, and i had to download updated drivers and software several times from ati.com befpre i could get their updates to actually install on my machine. and i don't even want to get into how buggy their multimedia center is. plus, i had to call technical support to resolve video and audio issues, which were never solved. then, finally, it crashed my computer.even after i pulled the card out and uninstalled the drivers, even running their software removal utility, the remnants of their software is causing problems on my machine. if i am a computer professional and having this much trouble with it, i would hate to see the kind of frustration this causes the average joe who buys it.terrible product.

Never could get the software to really install properly. Furthermore, the software from a design standpoint is just not well thought out. The card is essentially worthless without decent software. I took a look at buying other software and some of them are not compatible with this card.
