Watch what you want, when you want. Watch TV on your PC screen, in a window or full screen, digitally record your TV shows or pause live TV and create your own instant replay. You can also burn your TV programs onto CD-ROM or DVD*!
The WinTV-PVR-250 supports data rates from 1Mbits/sec up to 12Mbits/sec, so you decide how much hard disk space your videos will consume (the lower the data rates, the less disk space your videos will use, but with lower video quality)
Trim your videos, cut out segments, put them back together, all without losing any video quality with our WinTV-Editor! With WinTV-Scheduler, you can control your TV recording on a daily, weekly or random schedule. Automatically record TV programs so you'll never miss your TV shows again.
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 and replay the action again. You're in control with WinTV-PVR.
Record your TV programs or home videos and play them on your PC or DVD player! Use your PC's CD-RW burner to create Video CD's or SVCD's, with up to one hour of TV video. Record TV program episodes to CD-RW disks, and then watch them on your laptop when you travel. Or play them through your home DVD player in your living room.
If you have a DVD burner in your PC, use the WinTV-PVR's MPEG files with the included MovieFactory" to author your own home DVD's. You can also record your home videotapes with WinTV-PVR, and then burn them onto DVD.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The picture quality is brilliant and the sound is excellent, the pause feature is fantastic and a very cool idea (shame your standard TV can't do it). The bundled software includes a TV scheduler which has worked every time providing near DVD quality images and sound to match although it's up to you to set the quality settings for recording. The recordings can take up a lot of space on your hard drive but using the supplied editing software you can convert it to DVD, SVCD and more allowing you to burn it to disk. For the problems I found during setup I'd have to give it 2 out of 5 but for the final quality and the features I'd give it 5 out of 5
