Full review

An excellent card let down by clunky outdated software. Hardware-wise it's hard to beat as it has both and analog and digital terrestrial tuners as well as a hardware mpeg encoder on the analog side to aid in the transfer of home movies from Tape to DVD. Hauppauge's problem is that it hasn't updated the WinTV200 software since God was a boy and it is a complete pain to use. I'd highly recommend this card but if you are considering it, allow yourself the money for buying proper software to use with it, be it the Media Center in Vista or MCE 2005, or if you're running XP fork out a few quid for Nebula Electronics excellent DigiTV software which works very well with this card
