Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1600 Dual TV Tuner
WinTV-HVR-1600 brings over-the-air high definition ATSC digital TV, clear QAM digital cable TV and analog cable TV to your PC. Watch and record TV in a window or full screen using high quality MPEG-2.
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.
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. The WinTV-HVR-1600 cannot receive digital satellite 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.
Create your own personal Digital Video Recorder! Record cable TV or ATSC digital TV shows to disk with MPEG-2. Use the WinTV-Scheduler to schedule the recordings of your favorite analog or ATSC digital TV programs. Play the recordings back to your PC screen at any time.
Control your cable TV or satellite set top box with WinTV-HVR-1600’s IR Blaster. Both the WinTV2000 and WinTV-Scheduler can automatically control the channel on your set top box, so you no longer need to manually change set top box channels.
Are you using Windows XP Media Center Edition or Vista? If so, you can add WinTV-HVR-1600 as either the primary or as the second TV tuner. The Microsoft Media Center application* supports up to two TV tuners, so you can watch one TV channel while recording another! And WinTV-HVR-1600 has Windows Vista Premium certification.
Technically speaking: WinTV-HVR-1600 contains two tuners: a ATSC digital TV tuner for over the air digital TV reception plus a 125-channel cable ready TV tuner. For ATSC digital TV, all 18 ATSC formats including 1080i can be watched or recorded to disk as a Program Stream. A highly integrated MPEG-1/2 hardware encoder is on-board for recording analog cable TV to disk. The playback of the recorded ATSC digital or MPEG-1/-2 encoded analog program is done through a software MPEG-2 player.

I have a couple of older PC's that have the minimum processor speeds and 64 megs of video RAM that manufacturer recommends to use this video card. The NTSC portion of the card worked well but when I tried the ATSC tuner portion the video would stop and start constantly. I tried on both of my PC's with the same results. You'll definitely need more than 64 megs of RAM if you want to use the HD portion. The IR also didn't work at all. |
this pulls in weak signals from 56 miles away

a cheap usb tv tuner got 0 thru 34 signal and 0 thru 10 quality in blaze tv software.
this hauppauge hvr1600 gets a consistent 100 signal and a whopping 70 quality in blaze tv software.. however i dont use the blaze tv software, i use winTV 7.
winTV 6 didnt pick up anything and i was afraid i would have to return this tuner for lack of quality.. but first i wanted to make sure i had the thing updated, there came winTV version 7
i use an RCA ant200 antenna outside on a window shelf with 100ft cable and 30ft power cord.
i only get 3 or 4 channels during the day, but at night i have got as many as 36 channels
south chicago suburb representing the windy city
i just need a new antenna to get all 36 channels during the day as well as during the night. |

Bought as an upgrade to an analog card. Removed the old card and software installed and set up the new with no problems. Running Windows XP home edition. Apart from having to rerun the channel search weekly as the cable company moves around the channels, no problems. |
Great with Dish Network

Since I do not have a DVR with Dish Network, I was looking for a TV tuner to turn my computer into a DVR, and this one did the trick. I purchased a $20 card from a different company and it was junk, where this one works perfectly. Do yourself a favor, and pay the extra money for the Hauppauge, you will be happy you did. |
not happy with Hauppauge

This retailer came to the rescue with my purchase of this tuner. The digital tuner on the card was dead upon arrival, Hauppauge customer service was inefficient and slow. After a number of emails with them, I called this retailer, and their customer service was stellar! |
