@BillLehecka Short answer. Probably not. I've seen some discussion about a really complicated hack to use EyeTV for Mac. Not satisfied with the solution.
@ChadP I have the EyeTV. However, you'd really have to try hard to get OTA. The EyeTV is great at recording live TV though. What I do is capture my DVR using it. Works great!
@BillLehecka Nice. I'd love to hear about your experience if you end up picking one up. Like I said, I've seen a lot of stories saying both it worked and it didn't.
@ChadP Yeah, it's a tossup. I googled this specific model number and that page came up, though, and it seems like it might apply to the 95x series. We can only hope that it arrives fast enough to blame @studerc if it doesn't work.
@khunjeff From Wikipedia: An ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) tuner, often called an ATSC receiver or HDTV tuner is a type of television tuner that allows reception of digital television (DTV) television channels transmitted by television stations in North America, parts of Central America and South Korea that use ATSC standards. Such tuners may be integrated into a television set, VCR, digital video recorder (DVR), or set-top box that provides audio/video output connectors of various types.
@BillLehecka Thanks, I just found the same info! "In addition to America, the U.S. DTV standard, developed by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) in 1996, has been adopted by Canada (November 8, 1997), South Korea (November 21,1997), Taiwan (May 8, 1998), and Argentina (October 22, 1998)."
So when are we going to get a good deal on Apple TV AND a decent indoor antenna so we can connect? In fact a decent (not meh) indoor over the air antenna would be really nice to have. I am currently using a converter box and any antenna I use sucks as stations here are not in a line and are 17-30 miles away in all directions (not to mention I am on the side of the hill with tall trees which makes it worse). As a result I have two indoor antennas up and switch between them depending on which stations I want to watch.
@Kidsandliz You may as well prowl Craigslist. store.apple.com occasionally has refurb Apple TVs but I don't recall ever seeing any on any deal-a-day sites.
@snapster all the broadcast tv here comes from a giant transmission tower on a hill overlooking my house, so i wonder if the built-in antenna would do the job for me...
@editorkid I plan to do that with mine. I already have a powered antenna on my roof run into a splitter and going to all the TVs in my house (All wiring was still in place from Directv, just replaced the dish with an antenna). If I remember, I'll post back later about how it works.
@khunjeff remeber that you could also connect that antenna straight to your digital tv to watch the same content. All this really does is move it to your computer and let you record it there. I'm guessing you don't care about recording the news and weather?
@RedHot I love to record the weather during the summer and then watch it in December. actually, I realized exactly what you said after I had ordered it, but that's OK - I use my 65" TV as my pc monitor anyway.
@snapster Well living where I do - transmission towers are on the south side of town and I am on the north side, plus on the "wrong" side of a hill with big trees… can't get one of the local stations even with one of the better indoor antennas. Built in will only work if you are really close to the signal source and buildings, trees, hills, etc. aren't in the way.
@editorkid There are some pretty good indoor antennas that you put on an outside wall on the side of the house where the signal comes from. If the signals come from all over the place then you need either one that you can turn, or if you aren't too far a multi directional one (these usually can't bring in signals as far away as single direction ones).
@snapster If people go to http://www.antennaweb.org/default.aspx and click on "click here to start" it will help people figure out what kind of antenna they need. While they do not include indoor antennas due to so many variables using antennas indoors (what is in the way, even what room you use it in the house, how high it is placed... - I have 2 of the same indoor antenna and in the living room I can get all the major local stations (14-21 miles away), in my bedroom I can't get one of them) it will let you know how far away you are from the signals and in what direction they are. If you need just the weakest antenna I'd say the odds of the build in antenna might make you good to go - in this case if stations come up "yellow" (be sure to click on the colors for more info - also look at http://www.antennaweb.org/Info/AntennaInfo.aspx).
I remember back in the day getting a Hauppauge TV Tuner. I thought it was so cool I could have clear TV picture on my computer screen. This was back in 97-98, mind you. I was in college. Why go for college co-eds when I could watch The Price is Right on my desktop?
Somehow....I think I'm going to regret buying this. I've tried an antennae, yet couldn't pull in anything interesting...unless you count the couple of extra Spanish channels. But hey, I figured for $20, maybe it's worth a shot?
upstanding-young-coconut (ok, maybe, just maybe, the order number makes the purchase worthwhile)
@SavvySapphire This antenna is quite cheap and works great for me! I pick up stations from 70+ miles away without problems, and I don't even use the rotation feature. http://amzn.com/B004NQMCDK
@SavvySapphire See the information I gave about figuring out what kind of antenna you need in the a little bit further above this message on the page (replying to snapster)
We should have a topic of the weird channels we get over the air. I get this channel called Live Well or something... It had a cooking show with Joey Fatone. There's another 3 or 4 channels that only show old TV shows from the 60s and 70s
I'm looking for something like this to connect to my XBMC system and record OTA TV from my powered outdoor antenna. Does anyone have experience with this? Just yesterday I added a HD Homerun to my Amazon wish list, but this is WAY cheaper and might serve my purposes.
@kadagan I have a similar usb tuner and it works great with windows media center. You can keep the giant raw video files if you have space or automatically convert them with MCEBuddy (https://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/). Works just as well as an HD Homerun but is definitely cheaper.
@kadagan It is pretty good in general but not perfect. I usually keep it on because in general it does a good job, but it sometimes cuts the first second or two of a scene off.
@JazzyJosh Unless your cable company still broadcasts some signals that work without a cable tuner box, that's a big nope. Assuming that this can actually tune the old analog channels, though, you could use it to pipe in a cheap cable box input. maybe.
@JazzyJosh From the Hauppauge product page, "Clear QAM digital TV channels are digital cable channels which can be watched on a TV set without requiring a cable TV set top box. Many cable operators transmit the local high definition ATSC channels using clear QAM. Some cable operators transmit additional non-premium TV programs using clear QAM." So the answer is... maybe.
The photo and model for this product don't match. WinTV-HVR-950Q (#1191) has an F connector and at the Dell also shows the large F connector. What's correct photo or part number?

Anyone get this thing to work? I've tried it with the built in antenna, and dug out powered rabbit ears from the garage and still not a single channel. I updated from the Hauppauge site, spun in a circle, and sang I’m a little teapot.
Just got mine. Works like a champ (though I did have to reboot the PC after install to get windows to recognize the device).
I'd had one of these a few years ago. With a standard antenna (yee olde rabbit ears), it only received two channels, so I gave it to my Dad. He lives in town so it worked much better for him.
But with the proliferation of amplified leaf-style antenna's I thought I'd give it another try, and I picked up an Amazon Basics Ultra-Thin Extreme Performance Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna for ~$50.
With the amplified antenna, the tuner receives ~32 of the 40+ channels in my area (the channels it doesn't pick up are just duplicates of the local network channels anyway.)
In the specs it has(Dell branded Hauppauge Model 1191 WinTV-HVR-955Q) I did not received this item. I have just contacted customer service for the third time on how to get a refund.
Yes their answer, we do not care that the specs page does not match the product sent. Does this company have a customer service phone number? I am getting no where with their email responses.

Hauppauge is the name of a town on Long Island, NY. I'm very familiar with it and its pronunciation, thank you very much.
@BillLehecka I live there!
@BillLehecka Actually their pronounciation is wrong, to say it perfectly you need to pronounce it "hop hog"
@Tufflaw No way, it's more like "Hah Paug" with a nice Long Island accent.
@BillLehecka You mean Lawnguyland accent.
I was going to suggest "Ha-Pog" but "Hop Hog" also gets it done. Lets see how these non-islanders handle pronouncing "Aquebogue"
This has a pretty serious case of the meh.
@ram434
And hack question: Does it work with a Mac? Looks to be no.
@BillLehecka Short answer. Probably not. I've seen some discussion about a really complicated hack to use EyeTV for Mac. Not satisfied with the solution.
@BillLehecka The manufacturer says it is. http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/faq/support_faq_hvr950.html#1

@BillLehecka Nice. I'd love to hear about your experience if you end up picking one up. Like I said, I've seen a lot of stories saying both it worked and it didn't.
@editorkid It is also my understanding that the model 1191 is the PC specific unit. The unit with the Mac specific specs is the 1145.
@ChadP Yeah, it's a tossup. I googled this specific model number and that page came up, though, and it seems like it might apply to the 95x series. We can only hope that it arrives fast enough to blame @studerc if it doesn't work.
Tempted. Unfortunately we don't have good tv reception here. Only abc comes in
@jaybird I'm also tempted, tho I'd have to run an antenna up to the roof
Worthless IMO, Meh!
EDIT: Ok maybe not completely worthless for some who need to record antenna tv, but I hardly watch tv so still Meh for me.
Meh. Looks like this was announced by Dell back in January 2009 for $50.
Hmm, I suspect this won't work in Korea...? (That's not a joke about Korean Meh customers, I actually live in Seoul)
@khunjeff Curious does Meh ship to you in Korea? How much do they charge for international shipping?

@editorkid Thanks. It is a moot point right now though - no money. Only buying cheap christmas presents, nothing for me.
@Stumpy91 Thanks. I hadn't even really looked into what works on a Mac since I am not in a position to buy a "want" right now.
@Kidsandliz I'm OK with you getting me something cheap. You're in the right place, after all!
@editorkid You a long lost relative? If no you are not on the list LOL
I only have Netflix, Hulu, etc. Will this let me watch the local network channels for news and weather?
@rockabettygirl You will also need an antenna unless the stations are all next door.
@rockabettygirl yes ma'am. Just get an antenna and you'll be rocking local tv.
@Kidsandliz hey. antenna is built in:
@snapster But the site does recommend using a rooftop antenna. I would like to see someone do that.
@snapster all the broadcast tv here comes from a giant transmission tower on a hill overlooking my house, so i wonder if the built-in antenna would do the job for me...

@Kidsandliz I made an antennae out of aluminum foil and card board and I get 24 channels. I'm in Raleigh, NC if it helps anyone.
Hauppauge is a pretty good company. I have a different model of USB TV tuner from them. Bent the crap out of the USB plug. Still works!
My HD PVR, on the other hand, crapped out, out of nowhere. :/
@Fej My HDPVR is a win 7 HTPC with a Hauppauge cable card tuner. It works pretty good and saves me $15/month
I have a non proprietary dvr and a digital antenna - frees my lappy up so I can type crap like this while watching tv...
I remember back in the day getting a Hauppauge TV Tuner. I thought it was so cool I could have clear TV picture on my computer screen. This was back in 97-98, mind you. I was in college. Why go for college co-eds when I could watch The Price is Right on my desktop?
