How to find the product code of your Hauppauge product:
Hauppauge product codes on WinTV boards are normally found on the TV tuner. This is a five digit number normally followed by a revision (REV). You need to look at the first two numbers to determine the product type. The other numbers are related to the accessories which are on the product.
On the MediaMVP, WinTV-USB and other 'boxes', the product code is normally on a label on the bottom of the case.

Hauppauge has a new SDK available for .NET applications. The SDK simplifies the development of TV applications in .NET. The SDK makes it easy for applications to perform functions like querying the available channels, start watching a channel in an application supplied window, pause/play, adjust volume, display OSD graphics, record live tv to a file, etc.
The SDK is provided under NDA and can be requested at support@hauppauge.com or sdk@hauppauge.co.uk
Windows 10 requires special drivers to avoid errors during the Hauppauge product installation.
The latest versions of WinTV v10, 8.5 and WinTV v8 and Hauppauge Capture include these drivers. But if you are looking just for the Windows 10 driver, these are updated drivers which can be used with Windows 10.

Hear is what one user said about WinTV v8
Joe said: I just got my copy of WinTV. Are you kidding me? This program is awesome! As a long time suffering user of MCE, I really wish I had discovered this years ago. It’s the best 13 euros I have ever spent. Solves so many annoying problems and it even plays all the (hundreds) of over-the-air recorded TV files I had from MCE! I have always been a Hauppauge tuner guy but never had WinTV. You guys rock!
