Digital camera reviews of Hauppauge-WinTV-PVR-USB 2.0 MCE Bundle TV Tuner/Personal Video Recorder
Digital camera Review: Great product! Clear picture!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent recording quality, recordings are as clear as the original video source. Works well with both XP and Vista. Software provided for non MCE pc's works well and is easy to use. You can also connect a component video and audio source and record dvd movies to your pc with excellent clarity. You'll be able to set the quality of the video recording depending on how long you need to record. I've tried several settings and don't see much of a difference from the highest setting to the average vhs quality setting other than the lower setting uses less Megabytes or gigabytes. I would highly reccomend this PVR.
I would have given this PVR 5 stars if it weren't for the lack of instructions provided with the unit. The only instructions provided is for installing the software for pc's without Media Center.There are no instructions showing the functions of the remote, but it's easy to learn after you play around with it for a few minutes.
Also i've had problems when i set a schedule for programs to record and set my pc to standy, the program scheduler wakes up the computer as it should, but when this happens the computer loses it's tuner signal from the PVR which requires you to power off the PVR and reconnect. I've had this problem with both XP and vista. I tend to leave my pc on most of the time anyway so this is not much of an issue to me.
