Slow, Stations hard to find, HDD runs constantly

Cons: Poor value, white line on top of video

Summary: Runnning a HPDV6500 with Vista HP, 2gb, 250Ghd, tuner runs slowly, if at all, off the airwaves.
Most disconcerting is the hard drive runs constantly like an old 32MB RAM

Summary: Runnning a HPDV6500 with Vista HP, 2gb, 250Ghd, tuner runs slowly, if at all, off the airwaves.
Most disconcerting is the hard drive runs constantly like an old 32MB RAM machine.
Instructions to "Follow the wizard's instructions" when the hard drive runs forever are not helpful.
Quick Player is full of typos.

Summary: I specifically got it because I am a truck driver....Well you can't always get an internet connection. So you have to download the program guide before you leave ho. But you can only retrieve on guide at a time. So either you have to repeatedly have to download the guide. The antenna quality really is lame also. Now I am looking to get a rf modulator to hook up a real antenna. So, buyer beware
