Bad product no support from manufacturer
This product could be really nice if Hauppauge would support it. It isn’t supported by the manufacturer any more and DOESN’T work with WinTV or WinTV extended which is one reason you buy this is to stream all your cable channels that you get with the Cable card to your tablets, phones, or PC from another location. I did get this working and it worked great with Windows Media Center but once your PC restarted the drivers would disappear and then the product would stop working. I have a very nice state of the art gaming PC and home servers on various version of windows and on all of those the product stopped working after the PC or server restarted.

Product did not work
I have used a Hauppauge DCR-2250 PCI tuner card for the past few years and it worked fantastically. When I recently purchased a Dell XPS 8700, I was disappointed to find that the old PCI card was not compatible. When I purchased another Hauppauge product, I was expecting the same great performance.
Not so with this unit. I spent hours on the phone with customer service to no avail. The driver told me that I needed a USB connection to the device, so I purchased a USB-USB cable. Still didn't work. Ultimately it was easier to get rid of this product and just go to streaming TV instead of trying to use it to connect to cable.

Works but needs improvement.
When you click on a program in the guide you do not subscribe to you have to reinstall drivers constantly. Installation ease depends on how much you know about windows and medie center. I would recommend the WinTV-DCR-3250 CableCARD 3-Tuner Set-Top Box to a friend but caution them about flaws.
