An excellent card let down by clunky outdated software. Hardware-wise it's hard to beat as it has both and analog and digital terrestrial tuners as well as a hardware mpeg encoder on the analog side to aid in the transfer of home movies from Tape to DVD.

Hauppauge's problem is that it hasn't updated the WinTV2000 software for a long long while so it is a complete pain to use. I'd highly recommend this card though.



Features:

- Digital and Analogue TV for your PC on a single slot PCI board. Includes a hybrid analogue aerial/cable receiver plus a Freeview DVB-T digital TV receiver. Watch analog TV or digital TV on your PC screen.
- Includes Hauppauge's WinTV2000 application to watch and record TV, in a window or full screen. If you live in an area where you can receive both digital and analogue TV, you can switch analogue and digital channels automatically
- Includes WinTV-Scheduler, so you can schedule your TV recordings on a daily, weekly or once only schedule
- Includes Hauppauge new IR remote control, for easy control of TV watching, record and play functions
