Your link does not point to one special product here.
This is not supposed to work on a flash built site.
Tested with Opera and Firefox here.

Better place the full product name here.

I appologize, I did not pay attention to the flash site.
If you go to the link. Then click on TV TUNERS on the left then the product name is: USB2.0 TV Tuner / Video Capture Box with TV-USB20

Thanks!!

This is an analog (only) tuner, not good for any kind of digital television.
And it's not for satellite.
It may perhaps work with the analog module, if your cable or terrestrial service still holds analog transmissions.
Else, no good for nothing but it's capture port :?

To find out more, play around with it's original software (if already bought that thing...).

Capture cards related discussions are not a ProgDVB related issue, as DVB needs digital tuners.

I do also possess a nice video capture card, semi professional PCI based FAST AVMaster, a plain hardware solution - but I never awaited Prog to support that one for several reasons. One of those, MJPEG only. Another one, VxD drivers are only supported by Win9x.

Why should a strictly DVB focussed programmer waste his time for supporting a hardware, that's made for something completely different...
For this very same reason, we don't discuss any other pure capture cards over here, only DVB tuners, if related with ProgDVB.
