Hauppauge WinTV-HVR2250 Dual TV Tuner Board
The WinTV-HVR-2250 has two tuners for watching one TV program while recording another: with the built-in dual tuners, you can either watch one channel while recording another or you can record two channels at once.
Create your own personal Digital Video Recorder! Record analog cable TV shows to your PC's hard disk with our built-in high quality MPEG-2 hardware encoder. You can also record high definition digital ATSC and clear QAM digital cable TV to disk in the original digital quality. Use the WinTV-Scheduler to schedule the recordings of your favorite analog or digital TV programs. Play the recordings back to your PC screen at any time.
Vista Media Center compatible: The Microsoft Media Center application supports two TV tuners. Use the Media Center scheduler to schedule your TV recordings. And WinTV-HVR-2250 has Windows Vista Premium certification.
Clear QAM TV channels are unencrypted digital TV channels broadcast by your local cable operator. Many cable operators in North America are transmitting the high definition ATSC channels on their cable networks. They also broadcast the basic cable channels in using clear QAM. You can use the WinTV v6 application to watch and record these channels.
Note: currently Media Center cannot be used for clear QAM digital TV.
ATSC digital TV is the over-the-air HD digital TV for North America. ATSC digital TV typically requires an antenna for reception, and is currently broadcast in 200 cities, with over 1500 TV stations. ATSC broadcasts range in resolution from standard definition up to the high definition 1080i format. The WinTV-HVR can be used to watch and record all ATSC formats.
Note: ATSC digital TV is NOT digital cable TV or digital satellite TV. ATSC is digital "over-the-air" TV.
ATSC digital TV brings you sharper pictures and enriches your PC’s multimedia experience with near CD quality sound. WinTV-HVR’s ATSC digital TV tuner adds great features to your TV viewing: high definition TV reception, automatic identification of channel names plus records high-definition digital TV programs to your PC’s hard disk in an MPEG-2 format without any loss in quality.
Technically speaking: WinTV-HVR-2250 is a PCI Express X1 board based on the NXP 7164 bus interface chip. The WinTV-HVR-2250 contains two tuners with a built-in TV splitter. There is one cable TV or TV antenna connector which is split, providing a video source for both tuners. For ATSC and QAM digital TV, all 18 ATSC formats including 1080i can be watched or recorded to disk as a MPEG-2 Program Stream. The NXP 7164 contains two highly integrated MPEG-1/2 hardware encoders for recording analog cable TV to disk. The playback of the recorded ATSC and QAM digital TV and MPEG-2 encoded analog programs are done through a software MPEG-2 player.

This product is clearly overpriced and not worth the purchase. Customer service is very poor and technicians are uncooperative. I returned the product. Very Disappointed. |

I've held off reviewing this product because I didnt want to believe that it's as bad as it really is. The online reviews refer to it as the ''gold standard'' for tv tuners. It is not. If anyone can tell me how to configure it to work with Win Media Center, I would love to hear from you. Hauppaugge cannot. Support won't answer the phone and it takes them over a week to respond to emails. After a month, several calls & four helpless emails, the product still doesn't work. I've downloaded all the extra files on the hauppage site, read thru all the examples, it just does not work. If you're looking for a single tuner at the price of a double, don't want to use the remote control provided, and don't want to use Win Media Center, this product may be for you. |

Got this for my new computer with i5 core and 4gigs ddr3 memory. Worked great out of the box. Media center recognized it right away. Had problems with getting the remote to work. Called the mfg., got a tech rep within a few minutes and he walked me through a couple downloads and it works great, even at 90degree angle to the |

This is a difficult purchase considering the varied opinions. Many things have to be right for this product to work. The instructions have a few errors but mostly OK. The HCWCIRConfig Tool file did not install until I downloaded the latest software. Once installed it works great in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit using the Media Player. I record 2 TV programs at the same time and can watch the beginning of one program while the end is still recording. The IR sensing device is on the same cable as some LEDs but I just role those up and store them. I only use terrestrial TV signals and it works fine. The picture is not as good as the Sony 52 inch TV tuner but it is still HD and decent quality. In conjunction with the Windows 7 Media player I'm impressed. |
