Latest Drivers for WinTV-USB, WinTV-USB-FM and USB-Live

Note: the operation of WinTV under Windows requires two pieces: a WinTV driver and a WinTV application (the WinTV application is available below in "Latest WinTV Application" section). You cannot run the application without loading the driver.

 WinTV-USB driver version 2.62_21125
Latest driver for the WinTV-USB, WinTV-USB-FM and USB-Live for laptop and desktop PC's using USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 This driver will remove and replace any older WinTV-USB driver.

To install:

  1. Download this file (usbdrv262) and save it to a directory you will remember (for example: C:\)
  2. Run usbdrv262. This will unpack the driver and start the driver installation. You do not have to remove the WinTV-USB.
  3. Halfway through the installation you will be asked to Reboot. Do so to continue the driver installation.
  4. After rebooting, Windows will display a "New Hardware Found" message, and then go on to install this updated driver.
  5. Now, download and install the WinTV application (see below).
New features:

This driver supports better video quality on some VGA cards by using "VMR". To turn this on, click

Windows Start / Programs / Hauppauge WinTV / Primary and then select "Allow VMR".

If your VGA card does not support VMR, then chose "Allow Overlay".

This driver supports either analog audio into your PC, or audio over the USB bus.

Audio over USB is simpler to connect, but analog audio through the supplied "Audio cable" into a sound card gives higher quality audio sound. Most desktop PC's and some laptop computers have a jack on their soundcard marked "Line In". If your PC or laptop has a "LineIn" jack, we recommend connecting the WinTV-USB's "analog audio output" to your sound card.

To switch between digital and analog audio, on the WinTV2000 application click "Menu", then "Audio Type" and then select:

-Analog Rec+Live: audio goes over the supplied Audio cable to your PC or laptop's "Line In" jack
-Digital Rec/Analog Live: While watching live TV, audio goes over the supplied Audio cable. While recording, audio goes over the USB cable.
-Digital Rec+Live: audio goes over the USB cable while watching Live Tv and while recording. This mode should be used if your PC or laptop DOES NOT have a Line In jack.
