WinTV v7 is here!

How do we make the world’s best and most reliable TV tuner hardware for PC’s even better for our customers? By giving it brilliant new software.

As we move from the age of analogue to digital and now high definition TV broadcasts, it leaves us all having to upgrade our TV set’s and set top boxes in order to keep up to date. Well here at Hauppauge we have had to do the same, while all our digital hardware has been able to receive HD broadcasts for some time, our software unfortunately hasn’t. So we took the opportunity to not only add HD capability, but completely redesign our software from scratch.

The result is our new WinTV 7 application, featuring:

• A new, clear and intuitive interface
• Single configuration and scanning pop up menu
• High Definition TV and video support (selected models)
• Integrated Scheduler/TV Guide
• Integrated Teletext (where supported)
• Instant time shift and recording
• Multiple tuner support
• Built-in video player, which supports a wide variety of video formats
• Logical channel numbers
• Signal strength monitor

WinTV v7 currently supports the following products:

• All WinTV-HVR TV tuners, WinTV-NOVA and WinTV-MiniStick products in Asia Pacific. Please refer to our Support site here
  for more details.

Support for additional products will be added in the near future.

If you currently own one of the supported products you can download the new application from our support section here.
