Just a warning to all those considering upgrading their ATI USB 2.0 TV
Tuner...Do not do it....I was ugrading software on my computer and saw that
there was a new version out for the tuner....Much to my surprise, after
installing the new software (actually the install did not fully work
properly) the tv did not work....tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried
the older version, using system restore, nothing worked...After wasting way
too much time trying to resolve the issue, I resorted to a complete
reinstall of windows xp.....

After searching on the web, it was clear that many people have similar
problems once they upgrade the software...The old adage, "if it ain't broke
don't fix it" certainly rings true......

After the trouble I went through the last couple of days, believe me I
wished I had not purchased it....The only upside is that I purchased a
new 7200 hard drive to use for the reinstall and now everything runs
much faster....I will try not to install too much crap and bog it
down...
