    I have tried a few with several different machines.
    I just tried the tiny Pinnacle TV only unit this week and took it back already.
    The CF 30 does not seem powerful enough to reliably run digital tuning although I did use it with Vista which did not help I m sure.

    I have used the older pinnacle and a few generic units with some success in XP on older slower machines.

    I really need to be able to input Video as well as tune tv broadcasts and they work OK for that.
    Not like watching a cheap TV but functional.

    They are fun though.
