Hauppauge WinTV‑HVR‑955Q Multi-Format TV Receiver for Windows
The Hauppauge WinTV‑HVR‑955Q (Model 1191) is a hybrid USB TV tuner designed for Windows PCs, combining over‑the‑air digital (ATSC), clear QAM cable, and analog TV capabilities. It enables users to watch, pause, and record live TV in a compact, plug‑and‑play form factor.
This model supports ATSC HD, clear QAM, and NTSC analog signals, making it highly versatile for different broadcast sources. It provides composite and S‑Video inputs with stereo audio, accepts coax input via an F‑connector, and connects via USB 2.0 (compatible with USB 3.0). The included WinTV software enables scheduling and recording functionality in MPEG‑2 or transport stream formats.
Because it supports multiple signal types, the WinTV‑HVR‑955Q Model 1191 is ideal for users transitioning from analog to digital TV, capturing video from legacy devices (VCRs, camcorders), or receiving broadcast TV without a cable box. Its small size and broad compatibility make it suitable for desktops, laptops, or portable setups.
