$50 off regular price. Might be worth it since it does look like low profile ready. No idea where to get low profile bracket.

I have one of these, and they just updated the drivers. It is decent at best, but if you get the one that comes with the remote its ok for the price, but it looks like the one you posted does not. I would recommend putting your 30 and another 30 towards a little better card with remote, better yet, get a USB one so you can swap from computer to computer on the fly.

I've been waiting for Win 7 drivers for this since November... even says in the specs on the box that it supports win 7... boo

Can it record HD smoothly?

Vista drivers don't work with 7?

[Lavacon]

Nope, well, not for me at least. On the ATI website, they promise Q1 Drivers. That has been posted since November.

Wish it had a analog break-out box...Then it would be a good solution for me...

Nope, well, not for me at least. On the ATI website, they promise Q1 Drivers. That has been posted since November.

Try installing the card with the ATi Unified AVStream driver that comes with Windows 7.

It might or might not auto-detect, and this driver is located in the 'Sound, Video and Game Controller' section if it doesn't.

This worked with my USB TV Wonder 650, although the system needed a reboot before it was recognized properly.

I've looked at TV Tuner cards before and seen nothing but garbage reviews on them. =\
