Amazon.com Product Description:
The Hauppauge 1178 WinTV-HVR-1600 includes dual TV tuners to let you watch both digital and analog television on your PC, in a window or full screen. With PVR software and built-in hardware for MPEG-2 encoding, you can also record television onto your computer for viewing later without slowing down your computer.

The Hauppauge 1178 WinTV-HVR-1600 offers:
  • Dual TV tuners to watch digital and analog television signals.
  • Compatible with ATSC and QAM digital TV, and analog cable TV signals.
  • Dbx-TV stereo decoding for spectacular sound.

Watch High-definition Digital TV on Your Computer
With dual format TV tuners, the WinTV-HVR-1600 lets you watch ATSC digital TV as well as QAM digital TV and analog cable TV. ATSC digital TV, which typically requires an antenna for reception, is the over-the-air HDTV standard for North America. ATSC broadcasts range in resolution from standard definition up to the high definition 1080i format. (To check the ATSC digital transmissions in your area, input your zip code at titantv.com.)

The WinTV-HVR-1600 also lets you watch and record QAM channels, which are unencrypted digital channels broadcast by your local cable operator. If you don't have access to digital television channels yet, you can also watch regular analog cable television. And with the included remote control, you can control your cable TV or satellite set top box.

In addition to high-definition video, the card also features a dbx-TV stereo decoder for great TV sound. The card has Composite/S-Video and audio inputs that allow for connecting VCRs or cable/satellite set top boxes.

Your Own Personal Digital Video Recorder!
With the included software, you can easily record TV shows to your hard disk using MPEG-2. Several recording options are available depending on your playback needs; higher quality video requires more disk space. Generally, 5 gigabytes of disk space is used per hour of ATCS digital TV recordings.. Thanks to the built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoder, your PC continues to run at full speed even while recording.



The WinTV application offers an elegant interface to watch TV in a window or full screen. View larger.
With the WinTV-Scheduler software, easily schedule the recordings of your favorite television shows daily, weekly, or just once. You can then play back the recordings at your leisure, burn them onto CD or DVD for playback on another computer or your television, or with video editing software (not included), you can edit the shows. This is great for saving favorite movie clips, or of your favorite teams dramatic last-second win or your favorite player's grand slam.

The Hauppauge 1178 WinTV-HVR-1600 plugs into a PCI slot and is compatible with Windows Vista, XP with Service Pack 2, and Windows XP Media Center Edition. With XP-MCE and Vista, you can add the WinTV-HVR-1600 as either the primary or secondary TV tuner. The Microsoft Media Center application supports up to two TV tuners so you can watch on channel while recording another.

What's in the Box
WinTV-HVR-1600 PCI card, IR remote control receiver, IR Blaster (remote control), CD-ROM with WinTV software.




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent tuner for Media Center
Everything was easy to install and it works great. We use it with our Xbox 360 to record TV shows. It is an excellent buy!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A very poor tuner for standard-def analog video
I own the WinTV-HVR-1800, the PCI Express version this card. For both cards, the recording quality for standard-definition video is very, very poor compared to previous Hauppauge tuners I've owned (like the WinTV-PVR-500, which unfortunately I sold too quickly).

Additionally, its ClearQAM recording capabilities do not work with Media Center, which effectively means that the feature does not exist.

I would not recommend this card to anyone.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good product, good value, software is clunky
I bought this to add tv tuner capabilities to my desktop workstation. It works quite well for watching and pausing live tv. The software for viewing, planning, and storing automated recordings is quite clunky and awkward to use. My suggestion: Try http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10053173-1.html?tag=TOCcarouselArea.0 when it is available. It is packaged with a nearly identical Hauppauge tuner card, or you can use your own card and just buy the software.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TV card not performing as expected
I installed the Hauppauge 1178 WinTV-HVR-1600 Internal Hybrid TV Tuner/Video Recorder in my Windows 64 bit Vista machine and it only works PART OF THE TIME. It works fine at times, but other times the signal is broken up and lots of pieces come up missing. I've tried EVERYTHING TO FIX the problem only to wind up in defeat. I wish I had gone another route. In all fairness, the company did offer to refund my money (or exchange it whatever) but I kept it and tried some more tricks, only to wind up again ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The Record feature doesn't work in Vista
Beware buying any Hauppauge product for Windows Vista. Everything works except for Record, which crashes. The hardware may be good, but the software/driver seems to have been an afterthought.
