I just bought the card thinking it might. I had a $50 gift certificate and with the $50 it would make it free. It doesn't work. Kinda weird too how it works. Only one driver. No audio output either. The card is detected but you can't configure an audio source with snapstream. Weather or not the video works I don't know. After I figured out you can't configure the audio I stopped. I think I will keep this FREE card though. I will put it in my HTPC and setup a dedicated hard drive for it. The time shifting feature is great! Works flawlessly. The picture isn't as great as the ATI AIW but on my tv I shouldn't be able to tell. I just wonder if snapstream can record while the overlay for the Creative labs Card is working. This means since I have a hardware encoder and dedicated hard drive for the Digital VCR card then I can have my AIW card do a software recording. Just have to try it out. If only the creative card had an EPG. It would be a CHEAP soultion to a Hardware PVR.
