In the configuation menu I have the option between wo video devices: BDA 2875 TVTuner or Tuner for Windows Media center? I do not see the UB435-Q.

That's the UB435-Q. The computer identifies it differently. Even in Device Manager it reads as a 2875 Device.

I am looking into this product, also. Do I need a tuner? I have Directv with goes directly into tv. If I want to watch on dvd on my current player, I have to hit source on the tv. Would I be able to record tv this way? Nothing has explained if a tuner only works with cable and not directv.

there is no indication from the manufacture, so you could goto there website and look see if they have drivers or offer information about it. Sense I refuse to upgrade my media center computer to windows 8 I couldn't tell you for sure.

Windows Media center is an excellent choice with a very good program guide. It recognized the number of inputs on any device and will allow you do record and/or watch multiple programs.

I am interested in buying this player. I have a cable box from charter and all the cables from it go directly into my sharp hdtv. how do I hook this unit up so I can record tv shows. Also, whats the difference between tunerless and units that have built in tuner. Which should I buy? Thanks for any thoughts

No, all you need is for your PC to be running a version of Windows that supports Windows Media Center and for the PC and the infinitiTV 6 ETH to be on the same subnet. It would act as if the tuner is directly connected to the tuner device... And multiple Windows PC can share the tuner. Externeders would continue to work as they are today.. They are simply clients to your media center PC that hosts the tuners themselves (or the network tuners).

This unit is a "Storage Center" or NAS device.Windows Media Center, Plex or many other application that will run on your PC may use the QNAP as the destination folder to store your recordings.I Happen to own a SiliconDust HDHomeRun PRIME 3-Tuner DLNA/UPnP Compatible Streaming Media Player, HDHR3-CC, it uses a cable card ($115.42 on amazon). I use this with windows media center, and it works great.

Hey, hope you're still checking this discussion. I'm the guy that wrote that review so you can be sure that what i tell you will be accurate. The software that was on the disk works perfectly with the tuner; video, audio, remote, and all. Search around in the CD that came with the tuner. If you still can't find it, I'm not sure if I can help you there. You see, a lot of the software is third party, and the company that made the pvr sofware stopped supplying the software for this tuner. I wish you luck finding it. It should be in the CD.

tunerless is for those like you who use a cable box, it would serve as the recorders tuner. (they cost less)However you can only rec one channel and watch one unless your cable box has capabilities otherwise.Ive read a lot about connections there is a multitude online I googled about it so I imagine you can find out how there. I wish I could tell you but I dont use a cable box.Good luck :O)

Yes, I've got it set up that way, and it's working fine for me. I run XBMC, so I've remapped it for that, but before that, I tested it with the built-in Windows Media suite, and that worked out of the box.

It works perfect with Windows 8.1 Pro with Windows Media Center; it works extremely slow if you use Xbox Media Center if you're really into pushing the envelope of taking cord cutting to it's highest levels. I just wished it had a dual tuner. I'm installing cable internet at home next week so I'm real curious as to whether there are any free QAM channels on it, will update accordingly.

If I understand your intended use, I'd say no. This isn't a tuner - it's basically the opposite of a tuner and creates (modulates) a cable channel of your choice containing the input source audio/composite video. For example you could attach a composite video camera to this modulator, hook this modulator output up to the coax cable running through your house and choose a channel number on the modulator. Then you could tune in that channel on any other TV hooked up to the coax cable elsewhere in your house and view the camera output.

No. I found out the hard way. This is a DSTC antenna for TV'S. You need a ASTC antenna (along with a TV tuner) to use the Windows Media Center. I was looking for a stronger tuner antenna.

The Hauppauge has two tuners. You need to have it connected to your computer. I use Window Media Center. You can watch one show and record one other through your computer.

I have the double tuner Hauppauge and I have not found a PIP function in Windows Media Center. It does allow you to record two shows at once. The Hauppauge software might allow PIP but I use the MS Media Center software exclusively. It is the only useful software from Microsoft in the last 10 years.

could you explain the lack of cable card and or the uses of a built in tuner?Also, does the "95" vs. "96" indicate an update in the LN-S4695D and LN-S4696D, respectively?If you are using a TiVo or SD cable feed do you need the built in tuner? What about using over the air HD signals?

I have connected a pc to it. It does, in fact, detect and display "1080p". I was pleasantly surprised. The televisions own info tab actually confirms input signal as "1080P". I got this gem for $250 to boot! Great set, great tuner, intuitive, and light.
