Software and hardware combination to watch, record and stream live TV on a PC.
Hauppauge WinTV is a freeware video player app and developed by Hauppauge for Windows.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below.
Watch television from your video capture card
WinTV lets you control more than one WinTV device in your system. With the new "multi" feature, if you have dual tuners in your PC, you can have live TV from both on the screen at the same time.
With subtitles, WinTV lets you display subtitles from your digital TV program on top of the TV window. To watch TV full screen, double your LEFT mouse button again. To exit full screen, double your LEFT mouse button again or hit the ESC key. You will then be in the Normal TV viewing mode.
You can also change the viewing modes from a drop down menu by a RIGHT click in the live TV window to bring up the Options menu. Click Viewing mode and select Normal, No tile or Full screen.
