Digital camera reviews of Hauppauge 1213 WinTV-HVR-2250 PCI-E x1 Dual TV Tuner
Digital camera Review: A couple of issues
Summary: 4 Stars
I put this into a 64 bit Vista Dell machine. I thought I would be able to get BOTH over the air and cable QAM chanels since this has two tuners. I saw in the photos that it had two inputs for the cables. When I got the card, I was disappointed that I had not noticed that one of the inputs was for FM and the other was for a cable. I tried using both with a splitter and a combiner, but could not get all the channels to show. After some playing around, I was able to get two of the over the air channels to show up along with the QAM channels. My bad for not noticing.
The card does everything it says it will and the software was easy to work with. The other issue is that Windows Media Center refuses to see the card or setup the card to use with it. I have researched this and the problem seems to be with windows (go figure) and not the card. The fixes were too much trouble to mess with and I use the software that came with the card anyway.
It is awesome to be able to watch TV while working on the computer and the card does not tax the resources of the computer.
I highly recommend this card!
