The Good:
Works as advertised. Decent remote. We have an analog cable system where I live, so this tuner enables me to use it, and at a great price. The TV Time software isn't bad either, though I use Windows Media Center by default.
The Squirrelly:
No cons really. It was simple to install, setup, and program. Can't think of one negative.
Pro Tip:
If you plan to get over the air or cable digital channels though, you will need a converter, but those are cheap.

The Good:
Decent card for analog broadcast/cable, reasonably clear picture (for analog), plays well with Media Center on Win 7 32-bit, does not hog PCI bus. Includes remote and FM tuner (I don't user either).
The Squirrelly:
Latest driver a little difficult to find on vendor site. Don't bother with CD or included software - rubbish. Card is a little big; make sure you have room.
Pro Tip:
Driver offered by Windows Update didn't work. Head to vendor site, swear a little and just install the latest driver once you find it.
