Be careful upon removal!

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

The install package supports uninstalling if it is already installed. Only problem - on 10.4.3 (maybe less too) it grays the screen and tells you that you must power off the machine and reboot.

No warning what so ever and no way to save unsaved documents : (

Be careful upon removal! - valiantsoul

Tried again and found that after crashing it was still installed - so I tried again (with everything saved) and no crash.

I would still be careful though.

This product does not actually uninstall properly. After uninstall my bandwidth remains reduced to approximately 15% of its' former level.

Correction: it did uninstall correctly. My DSL modem did something to itself while the Tuner was installed that caused line speed to drop precipitously. Power-cycling the modem restored full speed.

I don't know what happened to you, but that sounds like a kernel panic that you got and not a part of the uninstall. Maybe you have other problems.

Can't really tell when it's installed. Can't really tell when it's uninstalled.

I give this a 1 star rating for the totally useless interface.
