Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
With WinTV-PVR's 125-channel cable ready TV receiver, you can watch TV in a resizeable window or full screen. Or listen to FM radio with its built-in stereo FM receiver. WinTV-PVR includes WinTV-Scheduler, which can control TV watching on a daily, weekly or random schedule. And you can schedule your TV recording, too. Never miss those old favorite shows, which are broadcast in the middle of the night! WinTV-PVR's Pause feature gives you control of what you watch in your WinTV window. Get personal "instant replay" to stop the action when you want to analyze a key scene. Instantly rewind to any point and replay the action again. You're in control with WinTV-PVR! Ever been called to the phone, had to answer the door, or went for a snack and missed the big play? With WinTV-PVR, you'll never miss the action again. Just click on WinTV-PVR's "One Touch Pause" button to pause your TV show, click again to continue watching where you left off. Then skip through commercials as you catch up to the live broadcast.With WinTV-PVR, you can record your TV shows to your PC's hard disk and play them back at any time. Then use your PC's CD-RW burner to create Video CD's, with up to one hour of TV video. Video CDs can be played on your PC or laptop computer, or on your home DVD player. Record TV show episodes to CD-RW disks, and then watch them on your laptop when you travel. Or play them through your DVD player in your living room. Is your closet filled with bulky videotapes? WinTV-PVR can put your TV shows and home videos onto CD-ROM instead. In the space of single videotape you can store 5 CDs. And when you want to mail a video to a friend, you can slip a CD into an envelope. Try to do that with videotape! WinTV-PVR uses one of the most advanced MPEG2 compression systems on the market today.

What a downer !!,

This review is from: Hauppauge Win TV PVR (Electronics)
I bought this with high hopes of converting my VHS to VCD, I have been following the advice on the web site support, still no luck in getting any sound from the thing, the picture can be shaky, the radio doesn't work, again sound.I was very nervous following their advice to edit the registry, with XP giving up all sorts of warnings, but I carried on, still no sound, wish I hadn't bothered buying it, over a month of frustration ,when building my new PC should have been a delight.

Almost as good as a TiVo,
This review is from: Hauppauge Win TV PVR (Electronics)
If you want to avoid splashing out for a standalone PVR machine such as the TiVo, then this may be what you need. Although the image is slightly blockly full-screen, it is clearer when you play back a recorded image, and the money you save probably makes it worth it. Although you cannot set it to automatically record a program by name, you can set it up to record at a specific time, and the included remote control makes this system preferable to those made by other manufacturers.

Not worth the money,
By Iain Tricker (Glasgow, Lanarkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hauppauge Win TV PVR (Electronics)
I bought the WinTV PVR 250 to replace my Pinnacle/Miro PCTV Unfortunately, the hauppage software has caused XP to crash on numerous occassions. There are sync problems video and audio together. The capture picture quality is not as good as my old Pinnacle card - it's very blocky despite the hauppage being able to do MPEG2 DVD quality in hardware compression - the results look nothing like DVD - more like VCD on a bad day. The card is 125 channel cable ready - but if you are using digital cable/sat you can only tune to what the set top box is watching which makes the PVR ability fairly pointless. There are about a dozen different updates to install from their website including the bundled applications and utilities. By comparison Pinnacle have a single web installer/updater which is much easier. On the whole,
