This hardware works fine with Cable TV! The instalation of the drives, in Windows 7, is not automatic. The installation of the drives must be done by the installation software which come with the CD. The software used to scan and view the channels has two versions: DVB standard and DVB-T. As I intended to capture Cable TV, I used DBV standard software (The only software that was capable to scan the channels). NOTE: To view HD channels, computer hardware must comply with it (graphics card). If not, image sequences are not smooth and there is a recurring delay between images and sound.
