Answer:
Re: Dell Angel TV Tuner?
I got it real cheap from eBay recently. It works great under Vista Home Premium MCE. No driver problems, just plug-n-play stuff.
Quality is good, recoding is good. I am using indoor antenna, and quality is good going by indoor antenna and me away from towers (SW Miami FL)
NBC (CH6) works great even when I just used a safety pin in place of antenna...!!
With antenna I get abc and cw33 ... there are some spanish channels that look n sound good... but I dont understand spanish..!
If u have more questions mail me at guptaso at email dot uc dot edu

Re: Dell Angel TV Tuner?
im pretty sure it uses some of the cpu, but it shouldnt be a big deal on a core 2 duo. My big gripe w/ it is NO WIDESCREEN!!! Quality's not the best either, tho it'd prob look fine if u used a regular tv as a monitor. If u can get it cheap its def. a solid device; been usin it to record tv shows for about a yr and i havent had any probs..

Yes, that is in US currency. Mine was brand new and also came with a wireless remote though. I'm not sure if the hauppauge usb stick supports Vista Media Center.
