Sabrent USB20 Capture box w/remote2010-02-12
I am using this product with my digital signage. It was fairly easy to setup as long as you knew the serial number it was asking for was printed on the CD case and not the one on the device itsself. It works well for the application i have it for but i end up replacing it about once a year after it goes out. You get what you pay for.
Almost works on Windows 72010-02-05
Plugging in this device on Windows 7 automatically installs a driver called TV Walker QQ. Although the software complains about compatibility problems, InterVideo WinDVR runs fine on W7. The problem I had is I was not able to get the tuner to tune any channels off my cable connection (and I have another tuner that does). Nothing but static. I was able to get the SVIDEO connection to capture the video, but I then had to pipe audio directly into the PC. Luckily the streaming software I'm using (BroadCam Video) doesn't have a problem with this, though the latest version of VLC does.

BTW: Sabrent does have Windows 7 driver for the device on their website, but it won't install on Windows 7. I emailed their support, but I'll be very suprised to see a fix. Looking at the driver INF file, it came straight from the Chip manufacture (Trident) and wasn't touched. If someone finds an up-to-date driver, please drop me a note at mike-at-mpsharp-dot-com.
Do not buy this Product2010-02-04
Would not work on any computer, I tried on 3 diffrent PC's windows XP, Win 7 and Vista.
I downloaded the drivers from the manufacture website, but they would not work either.
I could not change channel or get any picture at all. Low quality product.

Save yourself the trouble, don't buy this product.

Works, but can't reccomend it.2010-01-26
For the price, it can't be beat as a way to watch TV on my PC monitor. But included software is far out of date for this type of device and the software didn't even come with the code required for activation - had to find it in a less-than-legit place online. Hadn't really planned on using it as a PVR so I can't speak to those functions. It is a rather old Pentium 4 machine that I use it with as opposed to a multimedia powerhouse. If I had a nice media PC, I would shop for something in a higher price range rather than muck around with this.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
