Works great! ...mostly.

Strengths: PCI express! Inexpensive.

Weakness: Included software SUCKS!

The previous poster has no idea what he's talking about. The "censorship of motion" is an MPEG COMPRESSION ARTIFACT, and is completely controllable by the user! (Bigger files = fewer artifacts.) So don't judge the card by that idiot's review. Now, on to me... I'm using a HVR-1800 for Myth TV, and it works GREAT right out of the box! I'm doing HD 'over the air' and have been able to give my crappy...

Strengths: The good thing is that it captures the OTA HDTV signal; at least most of them, Fox channel is blank. The radio tuner works fine.

Weakness: I would suggest you try another TV-tuner. One that has a good picture.

I bought the WINTV-HVR-1800 PCIE card for primarily the HDTV, currently have Angel II MPEG for analog for cable TV. I found a hack that allowed me to use all three analog encoders plus the HDTV in Microsoft Vista Media Center. Unfortunate I soon discovered that the encoder of the WINTV-HVR-1800 is of poor quality. The primary problem and one I tried to resolve with the support (Brice W.) from...

not what I'd hoped for

Strengths: pcie card works in vista

Weakness: kind slow funky software

After installing, it worked for a while, but then somehow vista media center messed it up. also, i was trying to digitize an old movie (who has VHS on the AV system now?) but I guess this picks up macrovision in the driver and it just flat refused to record it. even the cpu usage was higher than i'd wanted. sent it back.

Dual Tuner Vista Compatible TV-Tuner

Strengths: Dual tuner, Hardware MPEG-2 Encoding, FM-Tuner, PCI-e

Weakness: Terrible software, requires Windows Media Center or SageTV or equivalent to use, no FM-Radio Support

Awesome card as far as quality and performance goes, can encode a show - digital or analog without burdening your CPU as it has onboard hardware MPEG-2 encoding. This model adds PCI-e 16 support up from the 1600 model as well as a FM-Tuner. The FM-Tuner however runs only off of Hauppauge's old tuner software and it is buggy. WinTV is terrible and the scheduling service through TitanTV doesn't...
