Review: Great Product - I purchased this on 1st Apr 26 and it arrived the same day. It was also a good price, £44.90. I had been using the ebay cheap type, £10 or so but the signal pickup started playing up recently and getting me frustrated, so thought I would invest in a good name one. Set it up on my pc first, decent cpu, 32 gb memory, ssd drives. Took some time to set it up after downloading the software (as per the web address in the box - make sure you go to the .com not .uk site). It installed ok, the main setup time was channel scanning (keep the defaults all areas). I was using a usb powered ariel and amplifier. Got more channels including HD. Picture quality is v good, much better than old stick and thats the non hd channels, the hd ones are marvelous (the old stick did not get them). I then plugged in the small ariel that came in the box., I expected problems, but mostly it just buffered a bit before showing. The activation key is per tv stick, linked to that stick (I checked it out first). You can go through the same setup process with every laptop/pc you have if you like. So I also set it up on a small Medion touchscreen laptop I use on camping holidays, unusual in that it can charge/run from a 5 voltt powerbank so its ideal). The difference in specs is massive small slow cpu,4gb ram... v the pc and I installed it with the came with ariel I was not expecting much but was pleasently surprised (I will take the small amplified ariel when I camp though). The channel scanning/ software and components are far superior than the other cheapy ones. A big bonus is that it comes with the sottware to watch the tv unlike the cheapy ones that only come with a trial version program. It might depend where you are and how far from transmission towers etc, But I would recommend it. Since the above review I have used this tv stick with my old SichboPVR tv stick player/recorder program. Works like a dream including with HD channels. Best thing is that using the sichbo program it will wake the sichbo program from hibernate to do scheduled recordings whereas the hauppauge program will only allow schedules from sleep mode. Review: A good piece of kit - I've been using the WinTV-soloHD for a couple of weeks now and am very happy with its performance. I have it connected to a Win10 computer and outside aerial. The initial scan found over 120 channels, all the main ones and many I would never want to watch - but that's the nature of Freeview. I'm using it successfully with PLEX and, unlike another reviewer, it has scanned the HD as well as SD channels. The picture quality is good with a noticeable improvement when watching HD. If I was using the Hauppage + Plex setup as my only way to watch TV, I'd go for one of the more expensive models which allows watching one channel while recording one or more other channels, but I don't need this so this model works well for me. I've dropped one star because the included software, while quite capable, is not as good as commercially available programs. I haven't used the included small aerial as I can't imagine it would pick up and the remote control seems superfluous as I'll normally be sitting close enough to the computer to manually change settings. ## Features - Single, Triple Mode, TV Tuner for Freeview (DVB-T), Freeview HD (DVB-T2) and Cable (DVB-C) broadcasts - Watch, pause, record and schedule Live TV on your PC - Plugs into the USB port on your Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or Windows 7 laptop or desktop PC - Includes the WinTV v8 application with built-in EPG (Electronic Program Guide) - Record your digital TV programmes in the original digital quality ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0152XLPFS | | Analog Video Format | No analog TV support.

Don't do it though. Tried using my hauppauge dual hd on Plex at first (server on a very powerful pc) and found the experience underwhelming (slow channel loading, unreliable playback etc..)...now use nextpvr with Kodi frontend and am happy (almost 2 years). Plex are not interested in PVR services and are moving in a different direction. Still use it for my media library but not TV **Q: Does it work with Windows Media Center?** A: YES No problems at all in setting it up - I loaded the drivers and WinTV V8 software (upgraded my HTPC from Windows 7 to 8.1 with WMC and also upgraded from WInTV V7 - all this done when I got the new Dual HD dongle) - then I opened WMC (Windows Media Center) and it found them straight away and tuned in all the stations. I have recorded 4 programs at once and these have not skipped a beat since setup.I have a 2x Hauppaugge dual tuners (4 year old Nova TD and a new WinTV Dual HD) both working on the same computer with WMC as it works with up to 4x tuners. In our case, due to being in a poor reception area, I had to get a inline amplified splitter to boost the signal to prevent the occasional pixelation and/or the brief loss of signal (anything from a couple of seconds up to about 1 minute) that I got from using a standard 4 way splitter.The Hauppaugge software will also do 4x tuners so I have read, but never tried it, as I prefer the way WMC works and I have a original WMC remote which has more functions than the Hauppaugge remote.There are other programs (eg- DVB Viewer) which will do more tuners if you wish, but WMC has some good features and it just works. Pity they removed it completely with windows 10, I have seen attempts at installing WMC onto 10, but it loses a pile of functions (eg- will not record) or just does not work properly. So you will have to stay with a older version of windows to get full use out of WMC.If you experience any problems with hardware or software, Hauppaugge has a excellent customer service department, and will respond fairly quickly and try to help.Also, try not to lose the serial number for the CD that accompanies the tuner in case you end up having to upgrade to Windows 10. Have a great day.  ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product *by S***E on 3 April 2026* I purchased this on 1st Apr 26 and it arrived the same day. It was also a good price, £44.90.

The PCTV operation was clunky with the unintuitive TVcentre software , so I always used manual record mode and the results where good, This was a good unit and worked fine for four years, but it always ran hot and eventually died (due, I suspect, to the high running temp). I replaced it with the August T-210 and what a waste of time this has been. It was extremely hard to load and get my PC (I'm running Win7 64bit pro) to recognise the drivers. Then its tuning list was a jumbled mess and the EPG was always in Chinese, in spite of me selecting "English" during installation. It then decided to not work (twice) having software conflict problems that Windows asked to "shut down"! I then had to re-install it again (twice), still getting the software conflict problems (and Chinese EPG!), so eventually I gave up and binned it. Oh, and it ran very hot. I then bought this unit, which installed with no problems whatsoever and when installing the channels, it even asked me which transmitter I wished to use. It picked up and listed all the stations (incl all HD, using rooftop aerial) with their correct UK channel numbers. Note that it records in the *.ts format (good) and even lists the program name as the file name - the others didn't. The EPG works and records with no problems. Whilst I never thought I'd use it, to have two channels, with one on each of my twin HD monitors, so I can watch them both (shades of "The Man Who Fell To Earth") and even record one of them is brilliant, so if you want the bees knees in TV tuners, just buy it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hauppauge WinTV-SoloHD model 01589 Freeview HD tuner for PC, Black - High Gain Freeview TV Aerial -August DTA240 - HD Portable Indoor/Outdoor Digital HD Antenna for USB TV Tuner / DVB-T Television / DAB Radio / SD / 4K - With Magnetic Base [Black] - August DTA250 - Outdoor/Indoor TV Aerial - DVB-T2 Freeview HD Antenna for 4K TV, DAB Radio, Set Top Box - Integrated Magnetic Base - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49381775-wintv-solohd-model-01589-freeview-hd-tuner-for-pc-black](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49381775-wintv-solohd-model-01589-freeview-hd-tuner-for-pc-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
