Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T FlashTV USB Stick 1GB

The software is very buggy, and gets worse if you do not properly eject the stick. It is also very slow at times - a relatively powerful PC is needed too for watching and recording.
The supplied aerial is only good for places with very good reception; those that don't will have to get a separate one or a metal coat hanger.
When it works, it's fine - quality is good and the EPG is bearable. The extra '1Gb' (really about 700MB) is pretty worthless considering the fuss that's needed every time to eject it.
Not really worth £50. Disappointed.

Sitecom Firewire / USB 2.0 Combo Card

The card installed as per the intructions without errors or problems. Connected my digital camcorder to it and within 5 minutes I was capturing digital video. A great PCI slot saver if you happen not to have either USB2 or Firewire. One of the advantages of DV capture over analogue capture is that you can control the camcorder from your video editing package. USB2 is necessary for high bandwidth peripherals such as external hard drives and scanners. Overall a good product at a competitive price when compared to similar products from other manufacturers.
