Great product for the price.
The installation of this product was quick and straight forward. The initial use of this product went very well, but after a few days the software started to get a little buggy. I then tried the beta drivers available for download at the Avermedia website and that solved all my problems. It now works flawlessly. The picture is clear and crisp, not overly sharp and the product works without fault. I recommend this product, but remember HDMI is protected by HDCP so the use of a 3rd party program like FRAPS will be needed to capture protected content.My PC Specs:Dell XPS 90008GB DDR31TB HDDi7 920

Works But Ugly Flaky Software...
Ok my system specs are:Gateway DX4200 1.8GHz QuadCore with ATI Radeon HD 3200 video card with 4 gig ram running windows vista x64The card installed easily, it takes a pci-e slot so make sure that you do have a pci-e slot available. I also made sure my ATI video card had the latest drivers installed.First, there is no windows Media Center (mce) interface offered for this card, they advertise that fact so no surprise there but dont mistake their Avermedia Center software for any resemblence of proper gui experience if you have used other media centers (MCE, XBMC, Mediaportal, Boxee, etc). It works but its lack of windows media center capability, its garish and harsh colors that burns the retina and lack of documentation (the included on disk user manual leaves much to be desired) makes the experience awkward and puzzling at times. You can eventually figure it out via trial and error...this effort however is on your time and dime.Avermedia's...

Works well once issues are fixed
I really wanted to get better capturing capabilities than just standard def, being that my DVR is HD. After reading the reviews, I thought it was worth taking the risk to buy this capture card since the other options for HD capturing cost at least twice as much.I plugged the card into a PCI-e slot and downloaded the drivers directly from the website. Didn't even bother with the CD. First off, I abandoned HDMI immediately since as soon as I chose HDMI on the Aver MediaCenter source list, a dialog box pops up from the software stating I don't have HDCP.So I chose what the manufacturer recommended for most HD sources: use the component video. I was able to output standard definition from my DVR, and even std def widescreen and the card had no problems. Once I bumped it up to 720p, the video started stuttering. I couldn't understand why since the other reviewers were able to get at least 720p, and I would have been happy with just 720p. I also tried 1080i...
