Hauppage introduces low-cost HDTV tuner for PCs

Hauppage Digital has unveiled a £99 TV tuner card which enables free to air HD content to be viewed on a PC or linked TV. No subscription is required to watch the content.

The Hauppage WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 card plugs into a PCI slot on a desktop PC and connects with a satellite dish to provide live HDTV.

A CyberLink PowerCinema application provides full screen TV or TV-in-a-window on the PC.

Users will be able to watch a range of BBC HD programmes including Planet Earth, Torchwood, Coast and Robin Hood.

It will also be possible to record high-definition content to disk in its original format.
