Strengths: Easy installation. Pick up channels without any problem. Software is easy to use.
Weaknesses: Picture quality is so-so for SD signals. HD-wise it looks good on my 17" monitor.
Summary: This product is very easy to install, not very bulky card so it fits into my booksized pc without any problem. The software provided is a plus, very easy to config and use, picking up signals fast and picture quality is fine. Everything else works as they should too. Overall I'm a satisfied user.

Strengths: Great picture quality. DVR functionality: Pause and Rewind live HDTV.
Weaknesses: Doesn't include an HDTV Antenna and Requires Very Fast Computer (P4 2.4GHz or up)
Summary: Get this card to watch HDTV in my dormitory on my desktop. Easy installation and receive many over-the-air HDTV broadcastings. The included beyond software allows recording TV show in different formats and directly into the hard drive. However this card requires very fast computer. While compared with ATI or KWorld HDTV PCI, the price of this card is a little bit higher.

Strengths: none
Weaknesses: Everything
Summary: My windows XP professional computer detected the drive but could not find drivers on the provided CD to install. I called ADS's technical support and was told that the drive is probably bad. The first and last ADS product I will ever buy; "a burnt child dreads the fire".
