Great TV reception with this card!

This tuner is amazing. On my old computer (with the same antenna and 10 year old tuner card) I was able to receive 3 on-air stations constantly and 3 more "sometimes". With this new tuner card I can receive about 30 channels. The recording quality is amazing. Also, the card installed with no problems and the software installed with no problems on my Windows 10 computer. If you are using Windows Media Center (Win 7 and older). The WinTV app isn't a full replacement, but it's acceptable. With the

Easy installation. The controls work great. The picture is excellent.

I installed this TV tuner board in my computer. I had no problems installing the driver. There are specific drivers for Windows 10, so look for them on their website. Don't just install the default drivers listed. Specifically search for "Windows 10 drivers”. The picture quality of HD TV channels is perfect, without any lag in sound and picture. The included remote is powerful enough to bounce the infrared signal off walls, eliminating the need to point the remote directly at the infrared…

Works great and compatible with Linux!

This product does what it is supposed to do. HDTV recording with Over-The-Air (OTA) antennas. Like everyone else, we enjoy watching live TV on our computers from time to time, and if you're watching sports and cheering for a local market team, nothing beats this type of setup. I fully recommend using Hauppauge as they have active development libraries for Linux. I was able to create a PVR system using TVHeadend and Kodi by following the instructions on both the Hauppauge website and some…

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • I have no complaints about it, everything is fine

solid product. Great OTA DVR option!

- Easy to install and tune - The tuner is very sensitive and picks up all terrestrial channels around me on the amplified indoor antenna. - Excellent picture and sound quality - Has a built-in program guide that makes it easy to record a program. Just click on the program and click "Record". Works great with Plex. Just share the folder where the WinTV 10 app saves recordings and you'll have instant access to your recordings on any device that has Plex installed. — There was a problem with the…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Now I can watch Free TV on my computer monitor.

I installed a TV tuner card on a 2019 HP Pavilion Desktop. My desktop has an Intel i7 processor. I've installed PCIe cards in other computers before, so the installation was very easy. I followed the instructions that came with it to download and install the software and set up local channels. I'm currently using an inexpensive antenna I bought about 6 years ago and the image resolution is amazing. I'm not sure but I would say it's 1080p because I have a 1080p monitor. All local channels in the

DEFINITELY worth the money!

this thing is really cool! I have read so many negative reviews about this manufacturer due to poor customer service, cryptic instructions for use, etc. The instructions that came with this device were simple, organized, and concise. The only problem I had was that when setting up the software I thought that since I have regular cable I need to set it up for analog. Don't do this, it will only give you a headache. After it was set up as digital, the channels started streaming. Well I have…

Pros
  • handy thing

  • so far so good

Didn't work for me - Internal

Card installed and PC won't boot. Tried several settings. The PC started normally with the card removed. Returning an item for a replacement of the same model. Same problem, computer won't boot with card installed. I called Haupauaggudduddkjd tech support. Guy said he works great with Windows 10 and never heard of PC/chipset/motherboard incompatibility issues. Now I'm starting to think that my motherboard has a problem with the PCIe slot. I decided to order the Haupauaggggeiejalkss quad core TV

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Great product and great features

It was easy to drop the cable with it on. In any case, our viewing pleasure comes mainly from local television signals. The card and software add DVR functionality to the computer I have connected to our widescreen TV. The setup for searching digital channels, scheduling programs to record and watch, and using the TV tuner through a computer instead of a TV is pretty easy and convenient. We often watch TV on the computer. Easy connection as the coaxial cable goes from the roof antenna to the…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • No insurance
