Can this be used in a PC with Windows 7? I have an HTPC with 6 ethernet based TV Tuners and I am wondering if this could help stream across my networ

Yes it should be able run this quad NIC in windows 7, I have it in my win 7 ultimate 64 bit I use my desktop as a VM server when running my labs. It should do just fine for media streaming since you can link all ports in LAGP but you won't have the desired performance if your switch that your system is connected to does not support link aggregation. This NIC is intended for VM server use and SAN use for VM data storage so media streaming will not be a problem.

Hi,It can handle 24bit/96kHz under Windows 7 and higher. Under XP I had to install drivers from Microsoft to achieve this result.

Yes, very nicely, using with Win7 in a HTPC; doing a great job at that task.

I have used it for my ps4 and my gaming pc. Both worked flawlessly. If you have an ethernet port it will work

It works with Windows 7. You need a wifi connection for this to work. A few other considerations: if you do not have admin rights in your computer it won't work (if it is your personal computer then you should be fine), the resolution is wierd, in summary I did not like it. I have tried Diamond Video Stream and it is better, although more expensive.

I have not used it with my PC but it is used with my HDTV 3.5mm audio output. I am a retired computer network engineer and from my prospective there would be no reason at all why it would not work with thr PC audio jack. Audio is just audio from a 3.5mm jack regardless of what device it comes from.

It works perfect with Windows 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center; it works extremely slow if you use Xbox Media Center if you're really into pushing the envelope of taking cord cutting to it's highest levels. I just wished it had a dual tuner. I'm installing cable internet at home next week so I'm real curious as to whether there are any free QAM channels on it, will update accordingly.

Doubt if this will help for your use but I use this to plug an ethernet line (via USB) into my google TV 'box'. I just plugged it in and it worked (no drivers or configuration needed). The google OS apparently sees it as native or the fact it is plugged into USB provides auto conversion from ethernet.

I can't say for sure since I returned mine. However I would find it doubtful. Frankly if you are looking to make a "media center" with multiple drives connected I think you will be much happier with a small inexpensive PC connected to your TV than you would with this device. The Homesync is not at all ready for prime time imo. Very clunky and severely limited at this time, compared to what a real media center pc can do (say running XBMC).

No reason why you can't use it for HTPC, though image retention is pretty likely. The anti-image retention options on the TV itself aren't that strong, though the scrolling black and white bars does work. Your HTPC should be able to dim/blank the screen when idel though...

It is just a switch. If you know how to connect your devices with an ethernet switch, it is theoretically fast enough for HD streaming. But I did not use it for that purpose before.

Just short USB cable. If your cable company is all digital, I do not believe this will work. It might work if you place it on the out (TV) port of your digital device. I no longer use USB tuners because I put a Ceton card in a PC to build a HTPC with Media Center and Win 7.

basing in my experience if ceton says it it only for pc then it its for pc because i even tried to use my infinitv4 usb with win8 and i got problem that i got to return the unit until i change my operating system to win7 pro and bought another infinittv4 from amazon because the first one was from ebay before i got it working with windows media center -thanks

Yes you can. It will work very well. You need to configure it with your wireless router. It will be connected to usb on your tv for power and the other cable to Ethernet connection on your tv. No drivers needed, tv "thinks" it is connected to a wired network. I used it with my Panasonic tv. It works like a charm.

This unit works fine with Window 7 64bit. The unit is a network device and its operation is not dependent on a PC's operating system in anyway.

I have no first hand experience with it on Windows 7, but according to Hauppauge, it should work. http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/windows7_product_list.html. Good luck. Since Comcast switched to digital cable and require CableCards, I'm using a Ceton InfiniTV4 with Windows 7 Media Center have never looked back. The PVR-500 was a great solution for its time with analog cable and BeyondTV.

Windows 8 does not have Windows Media Center, which is the app you need for any tv tuner. I had purchased a new computer with Win8 and I sent it back and fixed my old one with Win7 so I could continue to use my tuner.
