    Straight from the horses mouth:

    London, England - 30 July 2003 - Hauppauge, the world leader in tv-on-a-PC technology, has slashed the rrp of its best-selling analogue TV product, the WinTV PCI FM, by 25 per cent. Effective immediately, the price reduction of £20 to £59.99 (inc VAT) includes a remote control and the new Hauppauge software PVR (Personal Video Recorder).

    The WinTV PCI FM card, which adds live TV and FM radio to desktop PCs, is simple to install, says Hauppauge, and allows users to watch TV in a resizable window or full screen. "With the ever-growing interest in WinTV technology and increased sales volumes we have been able to reduce the price. At the same time we have added new PVR software, reflecting our commitment to add new features as well as drive down prices," said Yehia Oweiss, Managing Director of Hauppauge.

    New Software PVR The WinTV PCI FM, which is supplied with a remote control, now has added software PVR capabilities. The powerful new software allows owners to schedule TV recordings to disk and to pause live TV, resuming when ready. Playback can be on the PC or a TV (for PCs with TV-out capability) or recorded onto a DVD-R for playback on any DVD player. The new PVR functions include Time shifting, a flexible PC-based scheduler, remote control learning, and pause/ 2xspeed catch-up for live TV (handy if the phone rings).

    In addition, the card has a Composite/s-video input to connect to a Playstation, a VCR or camcorder. In this way the PC can be used to convert a bedroom PC into a games console screen, and home videos to be digitised and stored in the PC.

    System Requirements:
    • Pentium processor 90MHz or faster
    • Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.x (with service pack 3 or higher), 2000 and XP
    • Free PCI slot
    • Sound card
    • Graphics card (PCI or AGP) with Direct Draw support
