Hauppauge USB TV tuner stick with clear-QAM |
Hauppauge has some handy new TV tuners hitting the market this week at CES 2008, one of which is the WinTV-HVR-950Q. This USB-based tuner stick’s claim to fame is it’s ability to not only receive the popular NTSC analog cable and over-the-air ATSC high-def formats for North America, but also the ability to pick up clear QAM digital cable TV.
The WinTV-HVR-950Q tuner stick connects to a PC via USB and allows users to watch and record television on their desktop PC or notebook through a standard TV cable. The tuner comes with a credit card sized remote control to navigate channels, recording options and the ability to pause and resume live TV. It also comes with Hauppauge’s SoftPVR and SoftMCE software for MPEG-2 encoding. This allows the device to record television to the computers hard drive without needed some expensive MPEG encoder.
The WinTV-HVR-950Q tuner from Hauppauge along with the slim remote are both going to be available yet this month, retailing for $99.

Have not been able to locate the WinTV-HVR-950″Q” TV Tuner since seeing it in your write up……Any information on where I can purchase it…………Want an HD clear QAM tuner that really works…. Any suggestions?
Hi @edward:
I’m not having much luck finding one either. The press release said it would be out by the end of January but I’m not even seeing it on the Hauppauge site, much less for sale anywhere. I see plenty of the 950’s but no QAM.
I’ll keep an eye out and post back if I come across it.
Good grief!
