Install is a pretty straight forward affair with the device installing the drivers in seconds, 
now this is were I was quite pleasantly surprised. Included in this package is the excellent Cyberlink Power Cinema and make DVD software, although its not no MCE the power cinema software is as close as it really gets and bundling that in with the card is a excellent choice. I can see the picture now (laptop user 1) I Just bought myself one of the latest MCE 2005 laptops, I can record live tv and stuff its excellent. (laptop user 2) I just bought a TerraTec Cinergy Hybrid T USB XS and I too can do that :P. 
Once installed the power cinema setup wizard takes you through a very easy step by step setup, this covers everything from finding your music and files on pc or laptop and of course the tuner setup. 

The setup in the power cinema software automatic scans for signals 
Once that is done every thing is easy to operate, from the EPG which brings up program schedules and enables you to select future shows to record at the touch of a button, even when I tested the capture through the svideo input I was impressed. Even the remote was fully custom and the functions can be setup to suit you. This device worked flawlessly in our tests and we were quite shocked with it. A very well engineered product that worked surprisingly well, even if you don’t fancy the Powercinema on your pc or laptop, you can download standalone TerraTec tv software from the TerraTec site..
