Packaged in a White Box Review: Works great with WinXp Media Edition PC and DirecTV - I'm using this card to record the S-Video output from my DirecTV satellite receiver, so I'm not using the tuner. It works great for my situation, and I found it easy to set up, although I'm an experienced computer user. The WinXP Media Center Edition software works well with this card, and the IR blaster works with my DirecTV receiver. That part of the setup was easy, the software automates it. It took a little time to get used the the Media Center remote, but now I've got the hang of it and can quickly select the programs I want recorded and then play, stop and resume playing the recorded programs. I don't watch live TV much any more, I record most everything so I can skip the @#$%! commercials. I'm quite happy with this card, and the Media Center software. The schedule software is faster and provides a lot more info about programming than the DirecTV receiver does. It's great to be able to quickly find interesting programming and set it to record, then watch it when I have time. One other thing, I also needed an inexpensive wireless keyboard/mouse with a 15' range for this computer. I'm quite happy with this one.

I initially had trouble with the analog picture quality (Very grainy w/ bad color) and almost returned the card but decided to do a little checking around on google. I eventually found the answer to my problem. I had used the included Composite to S-Video adapter to feed the composite signal from my satellite box into the S-video port on the card and when setting up the card in media center I chose S-Video as the source (because I was feeding the composite signal into the S-Video port via the adapter). It turns out this was a mistake and the cause of my woes. I went back into media center and set up composite as the source and now the analog picture is excellent. I wonder how many others complaining of poor analog picture quality with this card have made the same mistake. ## Features - PCI card with dual TV tuners to let you watch both digital and analog television on your computer - Compatible with 32 bit and/or 64 bit Windows 7 - On-board MPEG-2 encoder allows PC to run at full speed while recording analog cable TV directly to hard drive - Includes dbx-TV stereo decoder for great TV sound; Composite/S-Video and audio inputs for connecting to VCRs or cable/satellite set top boxes - Includes WinTV-Scheduler to schedule television recordings and Windows Media Certified USB remote control transmitter and receiver ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OTJUNK | | AV Output | MPEG-4 | | Brand | Hauppauge | | Built-In Media | Capture Card, Remote | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 20 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00785428011837 | | Hardware Interface | PCI | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 2.8 x 11 inches | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | HAUPPAUGE | | Mfr Part Number | 1183 | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 or later, PCI slot, available disk space | | Model Name | 1183 | | Model Number | 1183 | | Operating System | Windows 7 | | Platform | Windows 7 | | Tuner Type | NTSC, ATSC | | UPC | 785428011837 | | Video Capture Resolution | 480p | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hauppauge - **Hardware Interface:** PCI - **Video Capture Resolution:** 480p - **Operating System:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** 1183 ## Images ![Hauppauge 1183 WinTV HVR-1600 Internal PCI Dual TV Tuner/Video Recorder Media Center Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+m36jKRGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great with WinXp Media Edition PC and DirecTV *by P***A on September 17, 2010* I'm using this card to record the S-Video output from my DirecTV satellite receiver, so I'm not using the tuner.

Do not buy Huappauge products. *by S***E on July 4, 2007* At the outset, I want to say that I am generally non-judgmental and easy-going. A month ago, I upgraded my Windows Media center PC to Windows Vista Premium 64 bit operating system. The existing TV tuner that came with the original hardware did not work. So I decided to upgrade to a new TV tuner. I saw that Hauppauge, the maker of my old TV tuner had a new product that I could install and be able to view HD TV on my TV. I bought WinTV-HVR-1600 MCE Kit Bundle. I removed the old tuner and replaced it with the new tuner. I followed all the instructions including the latest device drivers and the PC properties/device driver said that the device was working properly. So, I decided to go to Media Center and followed the channel tuning steps. This is where the trouble began. The HD Digital TV scan identified the local channels that transmit digital signal and then started the signal intensity scan. At the first pass it showed signals that had 4 green bars. Then it went through them again and changed the strength of the same stations to 2 red bars, etc. and the scanning kept going on and on and on forever and every time it kept changing the number of green bars. Then, when I stopped it manually and went to view a channel, I got the message "TV signal not available, etc." I called Hauppauge and their Tech Support person did not know what was going on. He asked me to download a driver file which I had already done in the first place. Then, he said that he would forward my problem to their engineer. The engineer e-mailed me asking me to send him screen shots without being specific about which ones and why. I e-mailed him back asking to be more specific. That was 3 weeks ago. I have not heard back from Hauppauge tech support. Bottom line: I wasted about $80 on the tuner, $40 on a powered antenna and I cannot yet get any signal and the Hauppauge technical support seems to be one of the worst operations I have encountered in a long, long time. Hauppauge should be investigated for false claims and bad customer service. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/24136671-hauppauge-1183-wintv-hvr-1600-internal-pci-dual-tv-tuner](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/24136671-hauppauge-1183-wintv-hvr-1600-internal-pci-dual-tv-tuner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
