I got myself the stick, because I wanted to watch TV in the bedroom as well and had a monitor and PC left. The drive to actually deserves 3 stars, but the total immature software makes the stick unusable. Installation without CD is not so easy, because you can first have to be en- abled to. Then it happened as every 4 weeks, that the process of the program when it is running but not more. Because it helps to delete the channel information completely and re-create. But since I have my transmitter arranged for a system that is more than annoying. Now I have decided against this program, this error does not correct even after countless updates and I switched to the Media Center from Microsoft. I can just take my little most Harmony and does not have to program the keypad code. The TV automatically starts up in full screen, which at the Haupppauge indeed was not the case and very annoying.
So in short: the stick is with the original software not worth buying with MCE can use the already, but even if you get in cheap
