Hauppauge WinTV USB review

Het volk van Hot Hardware heeft een review van de Hauppauge WinTV USB op hun site geplant. Zoals de naam doet vermoeden dient dit TV tuner/capture dingetje op de USB poort aangesloten te worden. Het apparaatje zelf is (zoals zo'n beetje alle USB spullen tegenwoordig) uitgevoerd in de welbekende transparant blauw/groene iMac kleur:

Performance: Using the tuner on my DSS satelite system worked well. In windowed mode the 2 different TV applications worked like it's PCI version does. The only drawback is the video seems to pull a lot of system resources if you don't have a decent video card. The opening of other applications running in the background seem to slow down the video playback. The image quality is decent also. But if you switch to full screen mode, then the speed of playback and quality of the image will decrease. Based on my experience, this device is best run in small window.
