3.0 out of 5 stars
Good product but disappointing packaging,
By Roy M (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hauppauge HVR 2200 MCE Dual Hybrid PCI Express Card With Hardware Encoding (Electronics)
It was only when I received this item that I realized that it was an OEM package. I had expected to have cables, software and, more importantly, a Microsoft MCE certified remote control. It was only after various emails to the supplier that I found the package details - had to click through about 3 links before the package contents appeared - that indicated that it was likely to be an OEM unit. I also found that the supplier was very slow to respond to my emails.Overall, the card does work very well with Media Center. But if you want the remote and extra cables and software, verify with the supplier that it is the full retail package first.

Works OK in Windows 7 64 bit,
By Richard (Twickenham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hauppauge HVR 2200 MCE Dual Hybrid PCI Express Card With Hardware Encoding (Electronics)
I have used this card with Windows 7 64 bit version of Media Center and it works fine. I downloaded the latest driver from the Hauppauge web site rather than use the one supplied with the card. I'm only interested in the digital TV tuners, so I haven't given much attention to the two analogue TV tuners, in fact I have not installed the analogue TV tuners in Media Center.There is an FM tuner included on the card which has a separate ariel connector. This seems to work OK in Media Center, but I will probably not use it as radio channels are already included as television free-view channels. Digital teletext (press the red button stuff) is included on the card and works well. Some other cards don't include this. There is an S-video input with an associated sound input jack socket. I was planning to use this to take copies of some of the things I have on VHS tape before retireing the VHS player for good, but this has not worked well yet. Firstly, the VHS player does not have an S-video output so I will have to use an adaptor plugged into the VHS scart socket. Secondly, Media Center does not seem to find the S-Video port. I tried to overcome this by connecting via the ariel ports, but this didn't work well. It seems that the card (or perhaps Media Center) is expecting very stable video from a broadcast source. The lower quality video from a VHS constantly breaks up when viewed in Media Center. I suspect the solution will be to record with something like Windows Movie Maker rather than Media Center, but I have not had time to try this yet. There is one querk which I would like to pass on. If the PC is rebooted, then sometimes Media Center cannot find the two TV tuners afterwards, even though the card looks fine in device manager. The solution is to do a complete power off, and remove the power lead to the PC for a few seconds. In summary, I think this a great card, and I am about to buy another the same.

Hauppauge HVR 2200 MCE,
By Bob Barr "Bob" (Lymm, Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hauppauge HVR 2200 MCE Dual Hybrid PCI Express Card With Hardware Encoding (Electronics)
The product is fine, performs well in Windows 7 Ultimate. I really didn't need the analogue capability which is no longer needed, but it doesn't interfere. Works much better as a digital dual tuner than my old Nova which gave up the ghost.Bob
