COMMENTS:

Once again ATI has solid hardware and drivers, but includes crappy software in this case Arcsoft.
This tuner works great with Microsoft Media Center for both over-the-air and cable. Also tunes unencrypted digital cable channels when used with Win 7 Media Center. Latest drivers will be automatically downloaded in Win 7 and Vista when you plug in the tuner.
This is a hybrid tuner so tunes either analog or digital, but not both at the same time. It includes a FM tuner that works in Media Center even though it is not listed as a feature.
Included remote can't be used with Media Center. The included antenna can only receive a good signal if the the broadcast tower is within 20 miles or less.
Again recommended for Media Center users, but you XP guys should go with something else.
