Advantages: the price, the quality, the usefulness of this card
Disadvantages: small codec problems can only be solved by a reinstallation

...This is one old review that needs improvements, I expanded it by adding a lot more information and details about this great product. ----------------------------------TERRATEC CINERGY 400 TV stereo------------------- I've always had the need of television on the PC and when I first set my eyes on this PCI card I couldn't believe it costed so little (I paid it 60 euro, about £40 years and years ago, I'm sure now they come even cheaper). The card gives you the possibility to add video/audio input on your computer and the great opportunity to record on hard disk (in different codecs included DivX). Considering that computer monitors with TV input hardly existed a few years ago when I bought this card and even nowadays are very expensive and don't allow you to record digitally on your computer... Easily it ended up being one... Read review

Advantages: Exceptional Sound Quality
Disadvantages: Driver in the box are out of date

...This is a story that'll shock 99% of you, confuse 20% of those and probably bore the brains out of anyone that has no brains.. or something. Me being a big car fan and computer fan and fan of very good quality music reproduction decided one to day build a touchscreen operator computer into my car. Using all the components from your everyday desktop machine i got them wired up and had a fantastic music jukebox in my car.

Advantages: Save LP's and Tapes To CD With Ease
Disadvantages: Initial Cost

...much a case of just playing you old track and recording it in, so the time taken is the length of the track. Then editing is entirely up to you, as soon as you feel it is right just burn it to CD. RELIABILITY Great I’ve heard a lot about TerraTec, but this is the first product I’ve used. Since I’ve had no problems probably will do again. It always sees the device when you plug it in and it never looses the connection with it either. EASE OF INSTALLATION Very easy, all you do is plug the USB cable into the back of your PC and then put the CD into the drive and follow the instructions on scree
