The Hauppauge Win-TV Quad is an excellent low-profile TV tuner card. Actually it has four tuners, although why someone would ever need this many is beyond me! This card can be adapted to fit a low-profile slot, typical of those found in SFF (small-form factor) machines. I have installed this card into my Dell Optiplex 990 SFF, and it fits perfectly into a spare PCI-E slot, sitting alongside a low-profile graphics card. The low-profile bracket is included in the kit, as is a very nice little IR remote control unit, and an IR receiver that plugs into the card itself. Speaking of connections, this card actually has a standard UK-style co-axial input, meaning that no special cables or 'F'

great card. running on win 7 64bit, amd 8 core cpu @ 4ghz, 32gb ddr3 ram and a samsung 850 evo with recordings and pause buffer sent to a seperate drive to the win 7 drive. i don't use media center, never have... why would you lol ;) the win tv 8.5 software is fine for recording, vlc takes care of playback. the tv guide is improved slightly over ver. 8. in general its flawless at recording either manually or using the tv guide. yes, now and then win tv locks up and you have to restart it, but i've been using hauppage win tv and pinnacle pctv (both before and after hauppage bought pinnacle) cards for over 10 years now, various models, cards and usb, sd + hd...and for some unknown reason ....they all lock up occasionally.

I bought this board to facilitate removing my TV from my setup in place of a higher spec monitor. I've had no issues with the card so far for tuning TV or recording video. From a hardware perspective I have no complaints whatsoever.However, WInTV, the TV tuning and recording software that is free with the card, has proved less than perfect. It regularly closes unexpectedly when changing channels (though thankfully not in the middle of viewing for me so far). The TV guide also does not stay up to date and is regularly slightly incorrect. A manual update will usually fix the issue, but the update takes an excessive amount of time.I'm planning to seek out an alternative software when I can spare a little time to look into it,

I have had the Hauppage tv card for almost a month now, it was easy to fit, and being able to record one program whilst watching another is so much better than the previous tv card that I had.I do not like Win tv that came with the tv card, it sticks when changing channels, and I much rather prefer to use Windows media center, but I shall have to get used to it soon when I am eventually forced to upgrade to Windows 10.I do not like the remote control either, being just 8.5 c/m x 5.5 c/m, it is far to small. I have tried to find a larger remote on amazon, but cannot find one.

About the hardware i dont have any complaint. It works exactly as the description. It has 4 parallel tuners, which can be used separatelly.The software which is given to it "WinTv v8" has some serious problems. Often crashes, some of the HD channels are displayed as a black screen, with sound.I tried a lot of freeware and paid software, with mixed results.I recommend using Windows media center. it work pretty good with this card. And it is possible to install to windows10. Not easily but it is possible.

Excellent cardI am using it with Nextpvr and kodi it receives all the standard and hd channels in my areaBecause I'm using next pvr you can record/watch more than one channel off each tuner as long as they are broadcast on the same mux iv recorded 7 things at the same time so farJust make sure you have a good signal from aerial before purchasing as this splits the connection 4 times internally leaving only 25% signal for each tuner if you had 100% signal at the start

I have installed this in a Windows 8.1 machine acting as a server with a Celeron J1900 processor to replace 3 USB tuners. The recordings are better quality, with less dropouts than my previous setup. Unlike some of the other reviewers I have not noticed any increased boot up times. Good value for money in comparison to other Quad T2 tuners.

Glad I brought it, impressed by the way Windows Media player deals flawlessly with its multiple tuners, its great to have TV window playing in the background while I'm working on my computer. The only downside is some of the HD channels Electronic Program Guide not shown though program displayed perfectly.

Although not the cheapest, it is an excellent digital terrestrial card, and worth the money. Setup and user interface not the slickest but easy enough and reception is good. Multi Tuner function has worked well, allowing seamless recording and watching concurrentely.Overall very pleased with product.

Fitted into PC and had to download CD from Hauppauge, which if your ok at going online and searching for correct device software and drivers is ok. Runs well and as product say's allows multi recording of TV stations cool as if you are like me a few programs you enjoy all on at same TV.

I needed to replace a USB receiver, as I wasn't receiving all the channels or getting a lot of pixelating images. This device has improved the reception much better and now I have more tuners than I need. I have also freed up another USB port.

An excellent product if you want some serious TV capabilities in your PC. One thing I miss is the lack of ability to add encryption card in the card itself. Still an excellent product. Just don't loose the key of their software.

Drivers downloaded and installed OK,.Windows and Media Center saw it fine straight away and the recorded picture looks exactly like the ones I get with the DVB-S2 cards (Hauppauge WinTV-HD).in my other HTPC.

This works superbly well in my Windows 7 MCE build. The signal is clear and its great having 4 tuners. The drivers also work well and I have no issues with suspend/sleep. Highly recommended.
