Absolutely!!! Windows 8 with Media Center and Rosewill remote control for media center are the Ultimate. Be very careful when installing software-Read carefully. Good Luck and know your 1 of few who have the best--ENJOY. PMG

Best solution is to download VLC player, which is free and open source. And this device definitely works under Windows 8.

Yes, I'm using on Windows 8 (Bootcamp on Mac Mini) and it's working great. I use VLC media player to play movies.

Windows 8 does not have media center software by default you will have to upgrade through microsoft, i think it was $10.00 then there was no problem with it

Yes. I just plugged it in and it is working with Windows 8 almost perfectly. For some reason. Windows 8 also thinks it's a speaker (output) device. And so a quick setting change in the control panel to set my normal speakers to "Default" and everything is perfect now.

Premsysl B., I'm having the same exact issues. It worked the first time I plugged it in but the system won't allow me to access and files on a blue-ray disk any longer. There seems to be no driver available for it to match Win 8. I used it several times in Win 7 and now that system won't recognize it either. I'm thinking the unit has a flaw of some kind. Too bad Rosewill, Samsung, or Panasonic (all attached to this make) won't post a fix.

mine was working since I upgraded to windows 8 late last year, but for some reason last night I could not get the device to work ( as I have had it for some years ). I will give it a try again but I am hoping it has not malfunctioned. Besides, I could never get one radio station to tune properly (94.7 FM WLS in Chicago). It tunes but the sound is scratchy and it goes in and out just that one radio station. Just go to the hauppauge.com website for the latest drivers and software. Good luck, I am hoping mine works as now I took it off-line and giving it a rest. There are other issues with another tuner that works well for the Mac but under Windows 8 there are some issues with the FM tuning (somehow Windows Media Center cannot switch well between digital back to analog) but that is another story.

I was... with Media Center. Now I'm using it on Windows 10 (no Media Center there yet)!

It works perfect with Windows 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center; it works extremely slow if you use Xbox Media Center if you're really into pushing the envelope of taking cord cutting to it's highest levels. I just wished it had a dual tuner. I'm installing cable internet at home next week so I'm real curious as to whether there are any free QAM channels on it, will update accordingly.

I use it with Windows 8.1 and have not had any issues - however, I have two monitors so I do not use the monitor jacks.

Oh heck yah....Toontrack has awesome support...everytime I had a problem it was alwaus that I didnt read the manual...which no one does lets face it....support was always perfect ..within a business day....windows 8 is actually better for high end power users in Audio and Video, because it does not turn the pocessors cores off like windows 7 does

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 have not had success using this pedal with Windows Media Player so far. It does work with Quicktime however.

For the most part. I had trouble with installing the Cyberlink software from the drive and ended up copying the install to the local drive to make it work. I can watch DVDs but not bluray discs as the cyperlink software that comes with the device does not support windows 8 and high def at the same time. They want me to upgrade. Not sure if it is worth it.

Yes, it works just fine w/ Windows 8.1. It is compatible w/ VLC Media Player, Handbrake, etc.

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.
