. Play and Record Television Digitally
The WinTV-HVR-850 is a simple-to-use device that brings
over-the-air high definition ATSC digital TV as well as analog
cable TV directly to your PC desktop or laptop. With the
additional included antenna, it can also receive analog TV
broadcasts. More versatile than a DVR, the WinTV-HVR-850 is a
pocket-sized device that simply plugs into your PC's USB port. It
features a built-in digital ATSC over-the-air TV receiver. If you
live in one of the more than 200 cities in the United States that
receives ATSC digital TV, you'll have immediate access to as many
as 1500 digital TV stations. ATSC digital TV is the over-the-air
HDTV standard for North America. ATSC broadcasts range in
resolution from standard definition up to the high definition
1080i format. (To check the ATSC digital transmissions in your
area, input your zip code at titantv.com.)
A portable digital TV antenna, which can be used to receive
digital TV up to 10 miles from an ATSC transmitter, is included
with the PVR . If you live in an area where you can't currently
receive ATSC digital TV, the WinTV-HVR-850 can still be used to
watch and record analog TV from cable TV or a TV antenna. (The
WinTV-HVR-850 cannot receive digital cable TV or digital
satellite TV.)
Once the WinTV-HVR-850 is connected, you can begin to record
your favorite shows in high-quality MPEG-2 directly to your hard
disk using the Hauppauge SoftPVR MPEG-2 encoder. Television
s will typically consume 5 GB of disk space per hour for
ATSC high definition, while analog s will typically
consume 1.5 GB of disk space per hour. You can also use the
included WinTV-Scheduler to program your computer to record your
favorite analog or digital TV shows for play back at any time.
Compatibility with Microsoft's Windows Media Center means that
you can watch TV as well as your s with Windows Media
Center. The included WinTV application also lets you watch your
shows in a window or on full screen.
More about PVR Technology
PVR stands for PC Video Recorder. The WinTV-HVR-850 is a PVR
that allows you to play television through your computer and
record the broadcasts digitally. PVR doesn't use standard
videocassettes; instead, it uses your computer's hard disk to
store the broadcasts.
Once you record a television show to your PC's hard drive, you
can burn a CD or DVD that will allow you to play the show back on
another computer or on your television. With video editing
software (not included with the WinTV-HVR-850), you can even edit
the shows. This is a great feature if you want to save clips from
movies or sitcoms, or keep your favorite player's grand slam or
TD kick-off return for ity.
And just like a typical VCR, the WinTV-HVR-850 offers you
several options, depending on your play back needs. If
you want the highest quality for playback through your
HDTV, all you need is enough hard drive space to support
high-quality . By using the lowest option, you
can use your WinTV-HVR-850, along with an inexpensive video
camera, as a low-cost on-site video surveillance system. In fact,
the possibilities of how you can take advantage of the
WinTV-HVR-850 are endless.
