The included driver CD, I have not even used the same but charged me the current driver for the card from the manufacturer:
[...]
This read easily installed via the device manager.
In order to spare me possible driver conflicts I install basically instantly available drivers.
I use the card with the DVB Viewer Pro and have already had good experiences with the software for several years. The included demo version of ProgDVB had not already promised me and would be in the full version was more expensive than DVB Viewer.
In the short time I can say only this:
All HD and normal programs come here with proper signal and that although my dish is not exactly aligned optimally and must be readjusted in the spring.
For me, the card works fine under Windows 7 64bit with the DVB Viewer. But even under XP SP3, so I can make no compromises.
+ Very good price / performance ratio, 50 euros for the card and is expected again 15 euros for DVB Viewer has to be HD TV on PC at a very reasonable price.
+ Driver from the manufacturer's site can be quickly installed on the device manager.
+ Works on Xp and Windows 7 for me perfectly.
+ Driver for Linux on the support page and according to data on Windows 8 runs.
+ Very good signal processing.
Under either operating system, I was able to send the PC easily into hibernation and wakeup. With an older model of the manufacturer's S464 V1.0 it should be there probably come some users problems. The S471 played in my tests under both operating systems with wonderfully.
A really inexpensive alternative to expensive capture cards, so I like to forgive 5 Stars.
Many Greetings
