Sabrent USB 2.0 TV Box WinDVR for Inspiron 7500
I connected the TV Box and installed the WinDVR software to an Inspiron 7500 Windows XP. I am having problems in viewing a picture and sound. I went through the setup and had the software autoscan for the channels from the cable TV line. That went OK. However, the video diplayed is composed of a number of columized broken color lines that give a clue that there is some picture signal. There is no sound other than a clicking type sound -- sounds like eggs are being beaten for an omlet.
I would appreciate your assistance.

if your laptop does indeed only have usb 1.1 ports then you'll need to get an usb2 pcmcia card to obtain usb2 functionality.

Also, I went to the Sabrent web site and downloaded an "EPGPatch_v3 For Titan TV Intervideo." I thouight this might help to resolve some or all of these problems with the video and the sound. I tried to install this patch, however, it stops before being fully installed with an error message: "X Error: Cannot find WinDVR path (0x0004)"
I checked my computer's program files and see that the WinDVR application files are located in the folder at C:\Program Files\Intervideo\WinDVR3.
I did check the TV signal at the input by connecting a small TV set to it works on all the channels with fine video and audio quality. So the input to the TV Tuner is not an issue.
I have sent the above information to Sabrent's tech support as well.

Thanks, again...
I'll obtain one of those USB 2.0 adapter cards as you advise and see how it goes.
