Record two shows, or watch one and record another!

Pros Easy to install, excellent picture quality, DUAL TUNERS!
Cons Don't use with a set-top cable tuner; you're wasting features.
Recommended it? Yes

Pros Good hardware
Cons I write software and I can't count all the bugs in WinTV 7
Recommended it? No

I have had this card for about a year.  It works with analog ir digital cable, comes with a remote and an IR blaster to control external video sources.  WinTV 7 doesn't- not reliably.  I would only recommend a Hauppauge product if you can find other software to work with it. ... Read full review »
