This is a TV tuner and personal video recorder designed for users who want to watch and record live television on their computers. It supports Windows XP Media Center Edition and includes a built-in 125-channel cable-ready tuner, allowing users to access live TV without needing a separate set-top box. The device also features composite and S-Video inputs for connecting to external devices like satellite receivers or cable boxes. It is compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, though performance is better with USB 2.0.
The device uses a hardware MPEG-2 encoder to record video directly to the computer's hard drive, using approximately 1-2 gigabytes of storage per hour of recording. This ensures that the computer remains responsive during recording since the encoding is handled by the device itself. It also includes an FM radio receiver and a dbx-TV stereo decoder for enhanced audio quality. The included Media Center remote control allows users to manage both the tuner and their cable or satellite receiver via infrared signals.
The setup process is straightforward, with a CD-ROM included for installing the necessary drivers and software. The bundle comes with a wall-mounted power supply, a one-meter USB cable, an FM radio antenna, and a remote control transmitter and receiver. The device is ideal for users who want to integrate their television viewing experience with their computer, especially those using Windows XP Media Center Edition.
The WinTV-PVR-USB2 is best suited for users with older systems running Windows XP, as it is not compatible with newer operating systems. It requires at least a Pentium III 733 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM, and a 10 GB hard drive. While it offers good performance for its time, modern alternatives may provide better features and compatibility with current software and hardware standards.
