I have two of those, and never had any issues with connections. What types of issues have you heard about ?

i read some people complaining about it not working with certain usb chipsets, so they had to buy various usb cards until they found one that work.

i read another few complaint about the device not being recognized one day after months of use. it would keep reinstalling on boot up.

but you would recommend hauppauge pvr usb2? how long have you had it? use it frequently?

Re: best tuner for laptop?

I haven't had any of those issues. I do know that if you frequently unplug and replug the unit that XP can get confused.

I have had mine for 6-9 months (when 3.5 beta testing began). For the most part, I use them daily.
