Gadgetell Review: WinTV-HVR 950 hybrid TV stick
Product: WinTV-HVR 950 by Hauppauge!
Price: $119.00
Rating: 8.8 out of 10
Pros: Easy to install and use. Comes with an air antenna to grab HD channels and adapter to accept S-Video through the stick’s coaxial cable port.
Cons: Portable file formats not available with given software.
Overall: A decent little device that works well but might be a bit too pricey for most people.
Most people don’t quite realize that many stations are already broadcasting HD signals. Yep, you could already be enjoying HD quality shows in your very own home without some crazy, costly HD cable service.
Hauppauge has released a tiny adapter that not only lets you grab HD TV signals and play them on your computer, but you can also record those signals like a DVR.
Grabbing video has become quite a bit deal. Not only does it mean big traffic for many web sites but it allows people to share their home movies or other video clips with friends and family across the interweb. Ah, the power of YouTube. Oh, and about the questionable practice of recording and sharing copyrighted content on the internet, just don’t do it – those people have kids to feed.
