Not impressed with this item at all. Originally tried to install it on my new Windows 7 laptop. I should have suspected I'd have problems installing it when the box said its compatible with Windows 7, yet the diskette inside only says Windows XP and Vista. So I download the latest program from the pinnacle website, that supposedly is compatible with Windows 7. Not true- an unsigned certificate was blocked by the computer, preventing the install. After researching the problem, I see several other people have had the same problem. Next I tried installing it on my Vista desktop- which does not have access to cable. The install went smoothly, however I was only able to pick up NBC. So for the $39.99, its not worth having just one channel- which I can pick up on the portable tv my kids use.
