Deal of the Day: Hauppauge HD TV Tuner for $70

Amazon has a great deal on the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 HDTV tuner. This NTSC/ATSC card normally sells for $90 to $100, but Amazon has it for $70 after rebate.

The card has two separate tuners, a 125 channel cable/antenna tuner, and an ATSC digital TV tuner that can be plugged into a high definition antenna. In other words, you can use the card to record two programs at the same time, as long as they're from separate sources.

The HVR-1600 comes with a Hauppauge IR remote control and WinTV2000 software which is sufficient for testing out your tuner, but I'd highly recommend checking out Windows Media Center, BeyondTV, SageTV, GB-PVR, Media Portal (for Windows users) or MythTV (for Linux) if you want to take full advantage of this card.
