While using a PC-based TV tuner always involves certain compromises in quality, we found the image quality of live and recorded programming to be excellent, with no discernable difference between the live and the recorded signals. The card's onboard hardware encoder handled two video inputs simultaneously, without any stuttering or slowdown. The overall image quality meets or exceeds that of our previous favorite TV tuner card, the ATI TV Wonder 650.

Remember that you'll need a free x1 PCI Express slot to use the card and that, unlike your cable-company DVR box, you'll need two different signals to use the dual tuners (to watch one show while recording another or watch two shows at once with picture-in-picture). Also, note that Vista View has fixed some initial bugs with driver updates, and you should download the latest drivers before installing the card.
