Like i said before ..... I just bought this card and i didn't see anything wrong with the tuner .

This card is great for the performance and give me a alot of feature and fun like hell . The DVR program work great , it a bit slow to load video but i can live with this.

For the speaker i cant say anything about it i use a 3 speaker system . I didn't try the website for the DVR wet but why would you want to use it anyway .

This card worth the price for my personnal use . I didn't try all the feature wet . I think by flaming Visiontek in the media is a bit exagerate , maybe Mr.unregistered alias "Ian Goldey " must calm down a bit or return your card and buy something else .
