I bought this device for recording tv on one of my many pcs. I have had TV pci versions never had a USB version and since this one had HDTV I figure I give it a try. I made sure I had USB 2.0 installed on my XP machine. I got the software installed and found the website to update the software that this device uses. This device doesn't work for recording it skips especially in HDTV. I thought maybe was my computer speeds but the device itself has problems recording anything HDTV. I would recommend buying a PCI version if at all possible over this. Maybe if they had a firmware upgrade or something but I doubt this device can even do a firmware upgrade.
