It should. The AverTV Hybrid Volar Max TV Tuner requires a computer with a working USB Port and Windows Midia Center program. I use mine with a indoor panel antenna.

I'm running Windows 8.1 upgrade Media Center 64 bit and all is well. I started with the drivers supplied with the card (Windows 8 Pro), but all worked fine when upgraded to 8.1 and then the 8.1 upgrade, and somewhere in between Media Center.

It links to Windows Media Center, so as long as you have that, yes. Though I will be quite honest with you, don't buy this. Mine lasted all of 2 weeks, was a pain in the butt to use, and there is ZERO support for it. When I bought this I was trying to avoid buying an XBox, but after this failed I bought a used 4GB XBox for $99 and it works for Media Center streaming flawlessly. I really wish I would have bought the XBox first. The only issue you will have is upgrading to Win8.1 (if you do) you have to pay extra for Media Center, so if you are doing the media streaming thing, stick with 7.

I'm sorry, I didn't see your question until today. I don't know about windows 8.1, but this cable didn't work at all for me. My radio just freezes as soon as I insert the cable. :-( Cheers!

I was running one on Win7-64 and upgraded to Windows 8. It works fine. Note that you have to purchase Media Center separately for Windows 8. However, they are offering if for free with Win-8 PRO for a while.

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.

Windows Media Center on my HTPC doesn't respond to it so I'm going to say probably not.

Yes it works with Windows 8.1 after I received the right cable. I received the wrong cable from them on the first shipment.

Absolutely. I have two of them connected to my Win 8.1 box and they work great.

Yes, I used it with windows 8.1 but it should make no difference between 8 and 8.1

It's important to note that Windows 8 does NOT come with Windows Media Center. MS claims that it's a $10 add-on, but that only applies to Windows 8 Pro, which this isn't. To get media center functionality on ANY Windows 8 machine you buy at a store, you have to buy the Pro Pack, which is a whopping $100. This is a bait and switch in my book.

I'm using it with Windows 8.1. It'll work but it will tell you it needs to download some software i.e. drivers from Microsoft first.

I've use with Windows 7. Its a USB 2.0 hub I see no reason why it would not work with Windows 8.1 as Win8.1 should be backward compatible with USB 2.0 standards.

I use media center to interface with the direct TV receiver. If that is still a part of Win 8, it should work just the same.
