This small device has been working flawlessly for 3 months. No impact on my Windows 11 system. Easily set it up on my Plex server and I can watch local TV anywhere in the world.You may need a good quality antenna depending on your area.

Useless. Did not work at all.

I use it to replace hauppage video capture card. Image quality it's over hauppage. Make a very nice job, no configuration to do. Plug and watch, that it.Negative point: it's just a video capture card, not programmable for a specific channel or time to record, you need to be use the Windows scheduler an change channel manually.

Seems to work best most in powerful and memory loaded computers. At first looked easy enough, the install download from Hauppauge for win 10 didn't work. None of the computers recognized the 1657 as an USB device, even in Device Manager. Toying around and getting nowhere, I noticed another page on the website side small file extra driver for win10 (wintv-solo_dual_quadhd). In desparation installed it. That did the trick. It recieves channels just as well as my existing TV, but now I have a dual channel DVR. Intuitive user interface and smart TV Guide. I can pause anytime and resume live channels. Well worth the money.15 jan 2023 Update: Still operating well, the HD is the standard compressed version not as good as over the air uncompressed HD. The recorder surprisingly can record programs through name recognition. Records daily/weekly series of a show even if they move the schedule around.

JE VIENT DE RESEVOIR WINTV V10 ET PA DE MANUELLE D INSTALATION EN FRANCAIS JE NE COMPRAND PA L ANGLAIS

It pulled in digital terrestrial stations perfectly when my Samsung 65" TV could not even find them. I Downloaded Win Tv 10 operating system, which includes a signal analyzer, and a TV listing guide for all the stations the tuner was able to receive. It programs delayed recordings just by clicking on the desired programs. This USB device has two tuners and I was able to record two programs from different channels to my hard drive simultaneously.I have a rotor on my roof-top antenna. I used the two included signal monitor tuners to find the optimum direction for the strongest signals.Great product!

Excelente, calidad HD de recepción y grabación, incluso reconocido por otros software.

Tuner works very well. Easy to setup. Been working every day since I got it over a year ago. No complaints.Comes with included PC PVR software that works with the Titan TV website. Also works with Next PVR standalone. Have used it with Kodi media player.An area for improvement for Hauppauge would be to give more thought to how the EPG could work. I have had other add-on tuners that deliver the show details for the channel being watched plus a several hours into the future. This device seems to do that on some channels and not on other channels, all this while other devices deliver this data all the time (and no the suggestion is not impacted by the underlying TV station practices).

I have to take off one star because the device is advertised as supporting Nvidia Shield, but it fails to support AC3 audio decoding. If you want to use this with a shield to turn a monitor, projector, or old TV (2010) into PVR or such, you are in for a surprise. You won't get any Audio.Modern TVs have support for AC3 audio, but since the Nvidia and this TV tuner just pass audio thru, without decoding, if your TV can't decide AC3 then you won't get audio. This goes for monitors,etc, as wellPleX software is provided, but only a 3 month trial that requires a credit card still.The only solution for me is to buy a modern HDMI soundbar, use that to decode the audio, and connect my TV to that. It would be cheaper at the end of the day to just buy a new smart TV.WinTV software is provided for windows 10, and that works great. It drains the battery on my laptop very fast, as the device gets warm, but it's not an issue with my deaktop. My only complaint with the Windows experience is that the device does not show up as a capture devixe in Windows, so I can't import it into OBS. This is a serious issue for me -- im stuck using the WinTV software.The device came with a small attenna. Kinda useless but something to fiddle with I suppose if you have nothing else.I got more channels on my TV, with the same roof antenna, but the usb tuner seemed to tolerate weaker signals a lot better. I think I prefer the USB tuner to the older TV tuner, but don't expect it to really improve the number of channels you are getting.Overall, I regret my purchase as it did not meet my expectations. Qualtiy of the device seems to be there, but it lacks the software support to back it up all the way.The device has dual TV tuner support, but only in the WinTV app does it seem to be a feature of use.It is purely a passthru uab 2.0 device, and as a result, I do not think the price tag represents value for money. If it included an AC3 decoder and video capture device support, it would have met my expectations. It relies on third parties for Android support, which is undertandable, but in so doing it fails to offer full support.

good product, provides good quality TV reception on my computer from my outdoor digital antenna...it's just like if I attached my antenna to my TV but now I can watch the TV on my computer with a host of other features such as recording capability and image capture...it even comes with its own mini antenna if you don,t have one already. The mini-antenna is not as powerful as a full-size one of course but if you're away from home with a laptop you can pull in some nearby over the air stations with the portable antenna (which is only a few inches tall)

I have been using a HTPC for years now, but I have always had Avast Tuners because they cost less. They still deliver HD and seem to work just fine. I bought a HAUPPAUGE tuner for my Xbox-One, which I highly recommend, and noticed immediately that the quality was better, and I received more channels even on the little tiny included antenna. So I decided to buy this tuner for my computer to see if I would get a better signal on a few channels that had been dropping out. Not only did I get stronger reception on those channels, but a few channels that never scanned at all on my other tuners now came in.I still use WMC as my primary means of scheduling and recording, and it works great with these tuners. The included software however was a big plus for me because of the ability to have two side by side streams. This is an excellent way to watch sports. I will say however that having two channels running in 1080 display on the screen at the same time side by side is fairly taxing on your CPU but I never saw any lag issues. I may buy another because having two of these as 4 tuners is much easier and less clutter than having 4 individual tuners.** For anyone who has never owned something like this **This is a simple USB adaptive tuner for your computer. You install it and it allows you to watch and record local over the air (OTA) programming. This generally includes CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, CW, PBS and whatever other local stations you may receive.Almost all versions of Windows prior to windows 10 included Windows Media Center which is a program that allows people to watch, record and schedule recordings of shows. If you have a new computer that no longer includes this software this tuner includes a software key to install Hauppague's own software for watching and recording shows. It's not quite as nice or easy to use visually, but it works just fine. (The major distinction is that WMC was designed to work on a TV and with a remote, while WinTv is a legacy software program designed for use with a mouse and keyboard)This is a dual tuner which means you can watch two channels at the same time, or watch one and record another, or record two channels at a time. There is a small antenna included in the box which will work if you live in an urban area. For the best reception however use a larger antenna like the Mohu leaf (or any other decent antenna).Final note, if you are recording shows in HD (as almost everything is now) you will need a very large amount of space. I don't know the file sizes for the included WinTv software, but the files for WMC are on average 2-3 gigs for a 30 minute show. A 3-4 hour football game will take up between 20-25 gigs of space. It will almost be essential to have an additional hard drive dedicated to recordings. Of course this depends on how much you want to record and keep.

This review is for the most recent revision of the 950Q, purchased in January of 2012. It's worth pointing out that this is a different package than that sold previously, with the same model number. The back of my stick reads as follows:NTSC/ATSC/QAM HD TV receiver72001 LF Rev B4F0 4311.(It also lists a unique MAC address, which you may need if dealing with your local cable company)The box this shipped in is a smaller box than shown in the images, above, and instead of the white styrofoam insert, there's a brown corrugated cardboard insert.The stick is present, as is the little AV patch cable, and the antenna, as well as a remote. I say "A remote" because the remote provided is NOT the remote shown in the images above. My remote is not the type with a membrane switch face, and would not slip into the card slot of a laptop (and since those slots are not even included anymore, that makes sense). The new remote has the same raised rubber buttons most remotes have, albeit in a small and portable form factor. It seems as though there are a couple of buttons on the other remote which aren't present on this one, but since I can't see a close-up of the other remote, I can't be certain.The remote I was provided with seems to work fine, but there's a significant "lag" between using it and having the WinTV 7 software respond. (By the way, this package came with the latest version of WinTV7, v2.4d, on CD, which leads me to conclude that this is a newer release, not an older one, though there's no way to be certain).The antenna seems to work better than I'd have expected, and should be more than servicable for my "travel use" needs. I need to get a slim coax cable to travel with to patch into cable TV as well, and that's not provided here... only the antenna is provided. But the antenna works nicely... I was able to get 16 channels here in Austin, TX, while the FCC's site suggested I could only expect to receive about ten.It's worth noting that I get more channels using the provided WinTV application than I do when using Windows Media Center. I fail to see why the provided application would receive more, but it does. I get about ten channels using WMC, with the rest being "below threshold."The antenna provided is acceptable, but a better antenna will undoubtedly improve overall reception. I plan to obtain a "leaf plus" antenna (which should be easy to carry when traveling) which will, if reports hold true, double the number of receivable stations for me. We'll see. Of course, a real, outdoors directional antenna would be a huge benefit, but that's impractical for a device whose main reason for existence is to be PORTABLE, after all.As several others have mentioned, the device becomes warm. Not "HOT" (ie, you can still touch it) but it clearly draws a lot of power. Your best bet, long-term, is to use it with an external, powered USB hub. However, it works just fine off my little netbook's internal power. The install guide recommends not using it with a hub, but that seems clearly to be more about power than about "lag," and going through an externally-powered hub should cause no problems. (I plan to obtain a new 8-port powered hub later tonight, and I'll revise this review if this changes.)The remote isn't "ideal" but is acceptable. However, I strongly recommend trying a little device made by a Chinese company called "Riitek." You'll find several variations of that being sold on Amazon right now, and often using different names (usually the exporter selling it into the USA, not the original manufacturer, though).I have this little device in both BT and 2.4Ghz radio versions. Unless you find the idea of using a "dongle" undesirable, I actually prefer the 2.4Ghz version overall, though they're effectively identical in most ways. Here's the one I bought... though the name it's listed under on Amazon has changed since I bought it.http://www.amazon.com/FAVI-Entertainment-Wireless-Keyboard-TouchPad/dp/B003UE52ME/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_tAnd here's the Blutooth version... which is nicer, overall, but nearly identical... and which has the minor drawback of occasionally dropping connection in "blutooth-heavy" environments (like, say, airports).http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Cellphones-touchpad/dp/B0042VF30U/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1326141350&sr=1-3You'll find these sold by a number of folks on Amazon. ALL are made by Riitek. They're GREAT devices, frankly, and are of high-quality (unlike so many Chinese-made-and-designed objects I've dealt with over the years). I'm very happy with them, and strongly recommend them. Using this as a "remote mini-keyboard and mouse" easily replaces your little Hauppauge remote, especially when working with Windows Media Center.
