Watch, Pause and Record TV on your PC with WinTV-PVR-150. Watch TV on your PC screen (in a window or full screen), digitally record your TV shows to your PCs hard disk using hardware MPEG compression and play them back at any time, or pause live TV and create your own instant replay.

Create your own personal Digital Video Recorder! Record TV shows or home videos to disk with MPEG-2 data rates from 2.5MBits/sec up to 12Mbits/sec. Play the recordings back to your PC screen, or burn them onto DVD with the included DVD MovieFactory. At DVD quality, a typical one hour TV show will use 2 gigabytes of hard disk space.

WinTV Scheduler allows you to control your TV recording on a daily, weekly or random schedule. Automatically record your favorite programs so you'll never miss your TV shows again!

Control your cable TV or satellite set top box with WinTV-PVR-150's IR Blaster. Both the WinTV2000 and WinTV-Scheduler can automatically control the channel on your set top box, so you no longer need to manually change set top box channels.

Are you using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005? If so, you can add WinTV-PVR-150 as either the primary or as the second TV tuner. The Microsoft Media Center application supports up to two TV tuners, so you can watch one TV channel while recording another!

WinTV-PVR's pause feature gives you personal "instant replay". Just click on WinTV-PVR's "One Touch Pause" button to pause your TV program, click again to continue watching where you left off. Rewind and replay, or fast forward or ‘skip' to catch up to the live broadcast.

Turn your TV shows or home videos into DVD movies*! If you have a DVD or CD burner in your PC, use the WinTV-PVR's recordings with the included Ulead DVD MovieFactory™ to author your own home DVD's or CD's.

MediaMVP™ compatible - play your TV recordings onto a TV set through Hauppauge's MediaMVP (optional).

Technically speaking: WinTV-PVR-150 contains a highly integrated MPEG-1/2 hardware encoder, plus a high quality integrated single chip video/audio digitizer. WinTV-PVR-150 can record to your PC's hard disk full screen video (full D1) from TV or a VCR or camcorder, using MPEG-2 at data rates from 2.5Mbits/sec to 12Mbits/sec (8 standard profiles are supported, plus custom). The encoded MPEG-2 program stream is sent over the PCI bus, where it is stored on the PCs hard disk. The video can also be played back to the PC screen while recording, so you can pause, rewind and fast forward live TV.
