Does anyone hold experience next to Sabrent USB 2.0 TV Tuner?

I purely bought a TV Tuner device that connects via USB 2.0 and so far this has be a terrible purchase. When installing the drivers for the TV tuner box my laptop would be in motion to a blue screen near something about memory dumps and after would reboot itself. I finally got the darn drivers loaded and immediately the software (WinDVR 3) locks my computer up tighter than a ViseGrip. My machine is a couple of years outdated but more than meets the manufacturer requirement. I run an AMD Athlon 1.8 GHz/ 512 MB... Any suggestions on another TV tuner application that I can use besides the WinDVR?

I've used this tuner for ~ 1 month and totaly satisfied near it. Some comments: 1. During installation use this manual: http://www.sabrent.com/drivers/tv-usb20%... (important!) 2. When setting up WinDVR create sure you chose ''cable'', if you have a cable, not ''antenna'', which is non-attendance. Otherwise you'll be able to receive some channels, but not adjectives of them. Also make sure that encoding is NTSC_M (NTSC will also do).
There's no press about it, TV (overlay) cards own come a long way. The USB design also may spawn it more limited than a traditional PCI TV Tuner card. Some elder ATI TV cards required a "VGA Feature connector" or "AMC" ribbon cable that ran between the Video Card and the TV Card.



Today you can purchase a PCI TV Wonder card or similar that delievers the hottest in TV Capture.

Virtualdub is a program that accept video from a capture card.
are you running medium center or xp and some usb devices require the drivers installed before the device is installed and some laptops merely dont run programs good
