Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-500MCE 2-Tuner PCI-Based Digital Video Recorder (NTSC) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's great qualtity for the price. I had an EVGA dual tuner TV card prior to buying this one. The 500 MCE gives you a better picture and more connectivity. The colors are vibrant and the decoding is excellent. The only short coming is that MPEG decoder software is not included in the package and you'll have to purchase your own.

Word of wisdom: If your picture is choppy check if your hard drive speed is up to par. I wasted almost a week; formating my hard drive 3 times, replaced my tuner card twice and swapped my CPU. I was about to buy a new mother board before I realised my hard drive was the problem. I Bought a new SATA drive and it was smoooooooth sailing.

ATSC NTSC Hybrid HDTV PCI TV Tuner /Digital Video Recorder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered this on March 20th, arrived the following Monday (23rd) with expedited shipping.The product works very nicely with Windows 7 x64 beta.

I'm a bit more familiar with Windows Media Center so I generally use it instead of what software was included.The included software works fine too, no hiccups at all with the Windows beta.

I purchased this to replace my analog only tuner card that came included with my HP Media Center PC.I'm glad I did.
