5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV product from Hauppauge, August 10, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

I knew when I purchased this product I would have no disappointments. I had and purchased Hauppauge products before and living it up now. This Pinnacle 22238 PCTV installed easy and worked remarkably. Hauppauge is affilliated with this product by hardware while Pinnacle handles the software to my knowledge. Make note the product software was made for and works with XP and Vista (only). The driver portion did not properly install in windows 2000 and the TV Center software does not at all install in 2000. GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT PRICE
