Question from Russie: Asked on 15/05/2008 Doesn this product not support Phono wires? If not can you direct me to a TV tuner on the site that does please?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 16/05/2008
Unfortunately the only WinTV USB tuner we sell that features phono outputs is the analogue one (product code 566). This is because the PC itself decodes the digital signal, and does not output the audio signal back through the USB tuner. You could use the headphone output from your laptop with a headphone-to-phono (dual RCA) cable.

Question from john williams: Asked on 10/03/2008 I am thinking of getting a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40-15E. With the Hauppauge Win TV HVR 900 will I be able to get English tv in germany? If so which channels? bbc,itv etc.

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 02/04/2008
BBC and ITV are unlikely to be received in Germany using the WinTV. A better option would be to look at the SlingPlayer, which allows you to stream your UK-based TV (Sky, BBC, etc) over the Internet to wherever you may be in the world. Requires UK-based TV and hardware though.
