HAUPPAUGE WINTV PVR 480P
HDTV can be delivered either in high definition if the video is 720p or standard definition if the video is 480p or below. You will have to use your cable box for that.Īfter this, you have HDTV which is finally a true digital signal in the form of a transport stream. The cards reviewed here will can then take that decrypted analog signal and convert it back into digital, but you will not be able to change channels with the capture card itself. Typically these "digital" channels are taken from analog sources, digitally encrypted and then sent to a cable box which then decryptes the "digital" channel back into analog.
The "digital" term tends to be kind of confusing.
After this, a cable company will often have what they term a "digital" package of a range of higher cost premium channels. You will only be able to use the onboard tuners of the various capture cards with these unencrypted, analog channels. Typically your cable company will have a basic package that includes a range of unencrypted, analog channels. They can be used with digital cable, but the term as traditionally used is kind of a misnomer. They cannot take take a digital signal due to the tuners used. The cards reviewed here are only analog cards. Kishkumen - Wednesday, Aplink #48 - I am by no means an expert, but here is what I know about video sources in relation to the cards reviewed here.At that price, it's tough to justify the Hauppauge, even taking into account the image quality benefits. The WinTV PVR-250 sells for between $130 - $150, over twice as much as the 3rd place ATI eHome Wonder. There were very few text box related issues with the PVR-250, basically nothing compared to the previous few cards.
In the lower middle you can see minor text box issues. The overall picture is quite good, although the colors are a bit oversaturated. Everything looked a lot softer rather than having that hard grainy look that we saw in the previous runner-ups. The WinTV PVR-250 actually offered significantly better image quality than the competition. The PVR-250 is also identical to the PVR-250MCE and the PVR-350. For example, the WinTV PVR-250 is identical to the PVR-500, although the latter has two tuners.
