Even if the card is a bit older, it's one of the best cards you can get for this money. I bought it, because I hadn't enough space for a TV set and I was looking for an alternative. This card also still exists but it has the name WinTV PCI-FM and this version has a few more channels and the BT878A chip, that allows also to use the card a radio card. The rest of the card is still the same. The installation ================= It's a small act and it's also not difficult, but you have to look out, that you don't forget some small things that are relevant for the proper installation. Of course you'll need DirectX, the Version 3.0 ...  Read the complete review

I purchased a PC with a WinTV card about 18 months ago. I fiddled with the card for a while and got bored. I tried recording from our camcorder onto a CD with reasonable (but not exciting) results) and that was that. When I gutted the system 6 months later, I removed the card and haven't touched it until now.

It' a nice card and the output is fine and dandy. But that's exactly where my problem lies with this card. It's JUST fne and dandy. For the money you pay for hauppauge I expect a wonderful image, crisp audio, extra input sockets and a nice application interface. What you're getting is a bog-standard card, software with a very 'Visual Basic' interface and little else other than the name. Yes, the card will record to MPEG-1 Yes, the card has good audio Yes, the card has the standard COAX input Yes, the card obvisouyl has a quality build process behind it. Yes, the card is overpriced for what you get these days. ...  Read the complete review
