Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - OK for XP; some manipulation required for Vista 64
Purchased this card for a new Vista 64 Ultimate workstation. Windows did not see the card to install it. I borrowed an XP machine and it installs in that one fine, but since it isn't mine, I can't use it in the XP.

Update: sent the card to the hardware vendor, who had the same experience. He was finally able to move cards around in the machine and make it work, sending me the configuration, which works here as well. The trick may be that this card needs to be the first PCI-e card ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything I was looking for in a tuner.
Much of the other reviews cover everything, so I'll mention things that were highlights for me.

The first thing I did was download the latest software/drivers from the Hauppauge website. I installed the card in an empty slot and then installed the software. The card took off without a hitch. The features integrate directly with Windows Media Center. You get a complete 14-day guide (based on your cable input settings) and it keeps track of the shows you've recorded so you can jump ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A solid tuner card
I have used this card both in my Windows Vista setup and Linux.

The digital side of the card is brilliant - crystal clear picture and no noticeable system performance hit while it is recording. Granted, recording digital is just transferring a stream of 1's and 0's over the PCIe bus. I have only recorded over-the-air digital broadcasts (ATSC) on this side of the card.

Analog cable reception was reasonable under SageTV, although somewhat less clear than the same analog ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hauppauge 1128 wintv-hvr-1800 pretty good!
It's a very good tuner, worked as expected in Vista Ultimate 64bit, my only problem was I was unable to install Hauppauge's WinTv application under Vista 64bit. I could only us it with Vista Media Center. As everyone knows, Vista Media Center doesn't support Clear QAM broadcasts over cable, so I was hoping to at least watch them with WinTV's app, but it didn't install. Microsoft came out with an update though (Media Center TV Pack 2008), but it can only be installed with a new installation of Vista, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Flawless with Vista
I first set this up with XP Media Center and had all kinds of trouble. The TV signal would cut in and out and pausing and rewinding was horrible. I then upgraded to Vista Ultimate and everything works perfectly now. The digital cable picture looks just as good as if it was connected straight from the set-top box to the tv. Pausing and rewinding works great. The remote is also very nice and worked perfectly.
