WinTV Nova-TD press release
Hauppauge releases Stick
TV tuner with Antenna Diversity technology
- Twin tuners to watch one channel and record another
- Diversity mode combines two aerials to boost reception
London, England - 30 January 2007 - Hauppauge Digital, world leaders in PC TV technology, has released the WinTV Nova-TD, a TV "stick" with Antenna Diversity technology to improve TV reception in marginal Freeview areas. The technology allows two aerials to be connected to the two built-in tuners, combining the signals to boost reception. In stronger reception areas, the Diversity technology can allow reception on the move, such as in a car or on a train (max theoretical 100 mph).
When connected to two aerials with good reception, Hauppauge's Diversity stick can also operate as a twin tuner, allowing owners to watch one channel whilst recording another to hard disk. The Nova-TD Stick is supplied with two high gain indoor aerials.
Priced at £79.99 inc. VAT, and available immediately from online and high street retailers, the Nova-TD Stick is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Media Center Edition (MCE), and the new Windows Vista operating system.
