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

In addition WinTV v7 now also supports the following other languages:

How can I reorder or change the channel numbers in WinTV v7?

Open the Settings menu in WinTV v7 by clicking on the “gear” button in the lower left hand corner of the WinTV v7 application. Then click on the “All Channels' tab and right click on the channel you wish to edit. Click Details. Change the Preset number to the number you want. You can also change the channel Name.

Example:
You will need to follow this procedure if you are scheduling recordings with Titan TV online program guide. For example, if you scan for TV channels in WinTV v7 and find that channel 2704 is WNBC but in the TitanTV electronic program guide WNBC is on channel 702, then do the following:

- click your right mouse button on 2704 in the All Channel list

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersShared DocumentsMy Videos

Can I record TV shows with subtitles or closed caption?

Yes.
If the program you are watching has subtitles when you record you will also get the subtitles as part of the recording. When playing back recorded files in Wintv 7 you can use settings menu to turn the subtitles on or off. ( recorded sub titles can only be seen when using the wintv 7 application for playback.)

Can I view and record my game play from external game sources with WinTV?

Yes, as long as you can connect the game system to either S-Video or composite video on your WinTV product. If so equipped, you can view and record the game action using the WinTV application software. For close to real time video, and to eliminate the normal delay, go to Settings/Advanced options and put a check mark in Game mode. Restart the WinTV application for the change to take effect.

I am getting a black screen in WinTV v7, or I'm seeing choppy video images. What can cause this?

Signal strength. If the TV signal strength is on the edge of being too low, you might see either a black screen where the live TV picture should be, or your live TV picture might be choppy. Also, be sure that the incoming signal from your video source is working properly.

Graphic display adapter related. The video graphics accelartion mode can cause choppy live video or possibly cause a black screen where the live TV picture should be. To optimize the video graphics mode, in the WinTV v7 application go to Settings and look under Video Renderer. EVR is the default setting. Try VMR 7, VMR 9, or overlay for better results. You may also try placing a check mark in “Use hardware acceleration when possible”.

If there is still no improvement, enabling extended logging in WinTV and emailing the log files to tech support will help in troubleshooting the problem. (To obtain extended logs, first go to Settings/Advanced options. Enable extended logging, exit WinTV and reopen it for the change to take effect).

What video format will WinTV v7 record in?

WinTV 7 will save the recordings in a transport stream format (.TS extension). These files may be converted to MPEG2 using options in the WinTV v7 Configuration menu.

What software can I use to edit & burn the recorded files from WinTV v7?

You can use any software editor that can work with .TS files or MPEG-2 files. Here are a few examples.

Ulead DVD MovieFactory
Womble MPEG-VCR
ArcSoft Total Media Extreme
VideoReDo TVSuite

What file size will the recorded videos be?

Digital Broadcasts (DVB-T, DVB-C, Freeview HD, etc.)

The file size of a digital signal capture depends on the bitrate of the digital signal. The bitrate is set by the broadcaster and cannot be user configured. Bitrates for digital signals can range anywhere from about 1.2 Mbits/sec up to 19.3 Mbits/sec. Most of the time these bitrates are variable and not constant. Capture sizes for ATSC & QAM recordings are approximately 1.7 Gigabytes per hour up to 8.3 Gigabytes per hour.

Analog Broadcasts

The WinTV application has to convert analog signals to digital in order to record. There are four recording profiles. The following list shows recording file sizes for burning to 4.3Gb DVD:

Best - Approx 1 Hour+
Better - Approx 1 1/2 Hours
Good - Approx 2 Hours
Fair - Approx 3 Hours

How do I scan for FM radio channels? And once I have scanned for FM radio, how do I find these radio stations in WinTV v7?

On those WinTV products with FM radio, you can scan for FM radio channels by clicking the Setup button (gear button) and then clicking on the Device tab. Choose your WinTV product, and then click Tuner setup. If your WinTV TV tuner supports FM radio reception, you should see 'FM radio' listed under the types of TV formats.
