    CNET Review

    February 8, 2006

    The Good: Easy to install; includes video-editing software; good image quality.

    The Bad: Weak FM receiver; A/V cables not included; lacks IR blaster.

    The Bottom Line: The Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 offers admirable image quality, but you'll need to bring your own A/V cables.
