My Hauppauge HVR-1600 and HVR-950 both work flawlessly and have for many years (around 8yrs).
Can't say that I use either of them a lot as may others do.

I know I have WinTV v7 installed on all three, my Desktop and my Laptops.
There is a WinTV v7.2 available, it lets you send a WiFi Signal to devices like Tablets, iPads, Smartphones, etc...
There is also a WinTV v8 available. On both v7.2 and v8 it would cost me $9.95 to upgrade (just not that Important to me for that Tiny Flicker).

If you click on the Asterisk in the Lower Left Corner of WinTV you will see a Check for Updates Button on the General Tab.
Maybe your Hauppauge USB being newer, you won't have to pay for the upgrade?


I don't remember the Model Number but I just Purchased and Setup a Hauppauge USB TV on a mans computer at the
nursing home my mother is at.
He wanted his own TV, but his roommate already has the shelf for a TV occupied with his TV.
Allan says the guy never uses his TV, but the man won't let Allan use it either.
He also won't remove the TV from the room so Allan could use it for his own TV.
The Nursing Home won't allow Allan to hang a TV on the wall either!

Allan asked me one day if there was a way he could get TV on his Laptop.
I told him yes, then he had me purchase the device for him.
His is the one with the Dual Tuner, not sure if it Flickers when moved or not, but I think he has WinTV v8 that is made for
Windows 10 (just found it after a bit of searching, Hauppauge says WinTV v7 is compatible with Windows 10).
Won't see him again until next week, I cold ask him then.
