User questions & answers

Question:	All i want is to plug an antenna into my pc and watch the local network affiliates on it. is this what i need to do that
Answer:	It should work with any USB connection. I've used mine on my custom built tower which has USB 3.0 ports and my Sony Vaio laptop in both the 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
Question:	How many integrated tuners
Answer:	The length of the cable is 8" from the end of the hub to the end of the usb plug. I think some of the confusion comes from the multiple device listings on the same page. I believe the one I bought had a promo code and was the base model. That one comes as the hub alone. If you look closely, the other ones are listed with a 3 foot USB extension cable. It all depends what you are looking for. In my case I didn't need the extra 3' of cable laying on my desk. It worked fine for my older laptop with one USB 3.0 plug. Mine did not lose connection however as another customer had experienced. Hope this helps you out there and sorry for the delay in answering.
Question:	windows media player was no longer supported by microsoft for the program guide... does hauppauge have software that provides the guide
Answer:	The previous shorter cable version has run out of stock already and we really regret to inform you that it won't be restocked in our Amazon store temporarily. Best regards, UNITEK Customer Service
Question:	When you record TV show with Win Media Center it saves the file as type .wtv. What file type Hauppauge software save the TV show in
Answer:	Sorry. No I don't. However, as the tiny light is used primarily to indicate that there is power to the Unitek and you are still able to use your USB ports, I wouldn't worry about the loss of the light.

WinTV-dualHD:

Free Over-The-Air ATSC HD TV and Clear QAM digital cable TV.

With Two Tuners, You'll Never Miss Your Favorite TV Show Again!

Plug the WinTV-dualHD into a USB port on your Windows PC or laptop and you can watch, pause & record two channels of ATSC and clear QAM High Definition and Standard Definition TV. ATSC is free over-the-air digital HDTV standard for North America and typically requires an antenna for reception (there is no monthly fee for ATSC HD TV). Clear QAM allows users to watch unencrypted HDTV stations from cable TV without a set-top box and does require a cable TV subscription.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you plug this straight into a cable line coming into your house
Answer:	Only if it is attached to an antenna. If it is a line with "cable" service this is the wrong tuner card for you. You need one that has a tuner for "cable" channels, not just ATSC over the air channels. Hauppauge has cards with both. The part number usually has an "H" in them and you'll see two F-connectors on the card, one for an antenna for ATSC over the air channels, one for cable channels. An old card, that had this was WINTV-HVR1600. It is so old it is ISA, not PCI.
Question:	If i do not have cable, what more do i need to buy to access local stations (abc, nbc, cbs
Answer:	an antenna, big enough to receive your local stations (depending on your distance from their transmission point, obstacles in the way, and height that you can mount antenna (22 -24 feet is preferred)), probably will need in line amplifier depending on the distance between your antenna and your computer (if greater than 25-50 feet), and you should already have Windows Media Center installed. When you upgrade to Windows 10, you can use the Hauppauge WinTV8 software instead of WMC.
Question:	Are there Linux drivers
Answer:	It is my understanding that Hauppauge drivers are included with many Linux versions (distros). I am curently running Linux Mint 19.3 with Hauppauge 2250 pci internal card.

Question:	Has anyone folund a similar replacement for windows medias center to record programs
Answer:	Old question, but I'll answer anyway. When I could no longer run Windows Media Center, I could only find one product that offered the same functionality as WMC, specifically the ability to have a movies only guide. And that product is J River Media Center. It is as good as or better than WMC, although it take more effort to configure it for some functionality. And it records into the TS format, which can be played on practically any media play, such as Roku, Fire TV, Shield, or any of the inexpensive Android boxes. It's not free, but it's not really that expensive.
