This tuner also supports Clear QAM, which allows you to watch unencrypted channels from a cable provider.
So neither computer is new by any stretch. I tested the WinTV-dualHD on an ASUS laptop made in 2014, and an HP desktop that came out in 2008. I needed to buy the software on CD because I received a review unit. Usually, the software will come with the TV tuner. Since then, I purchased the necessary software from Hauppauge so I could use the tuner on my desktop PC and laptop. I tested the Hauppauge using Plex Live TV & DVR on the NVIDIA Shield Pro. The folks at NVIDIA sent me a WinTV-dualHD along with a NVIDIA Shield Pro for a separate review. I’ve been using this Hauppauge USB TV tuner since 2017. That’s when broadcasters were mandated by the federal government to broadcast its signals in digital and drop analog. Software hubs like Plex now serve as a conduit for TV tuners, bringing live over-the-air (OTA) channels to over-the-top streaming devices like Fire TV and NVIDIA Shield Pro TV.Īll of this is probably the watershed moment that government regulators envisioned more than seven years ago. So now more people are seeking low-cost alternatives. Spectrum, Comcast, DIRECTV, DISH and other pay-TV providers have been increasing rates and fees. More people are buying a new crop of more powerful indoor and outdoor TV antennas. These channels are available to anyone with a powerful enough antenna.
This review will also do a comparison with HDHomeRun tuners.Ĭhannels like NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS are broadcast in HD (1080i or 720p). The Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD is the best a USB TV tuner for a NVIDIA Shield Pro TV, desktop PC or laptop. USB TV tuners can bring a lot of free, live TV into your home at minimal cost.
