Manufacturer's product description
WinTV-HVR-1300 brings analog and digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T) to your PC! If you live in an area where you can receive Freeview digital TV, the WinTV-HVR-1300 supports digital TV watching, pause, recording and playback on your PC's screen. If you live in an area where you can't currently receive Freeview digital TV, the WinTV-HVR-1300 can still be used to watch and record analog TV from cable or a TV aerial. But you are prepared for the future! When digital TV comes to your area, WinTV-HVR-1300 will also receive the new digital TV channels.
