OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Give your home theater PC a kick in the case with AVermedia's Duet. Designed to receive HDTV over the air (ATSC) or Unencrypted Digital Cable (ClearQAM*) on your PC, it's a dual digital tuner that works with a PCI-e interface for a more stable, higher bandwidth connection than with PCI. This dual tuner is able to let you watch one program while recording another at the same time, so you never miss your favorites!

This digital TV receiver not only receives Over-the-Air (ATSC)/Unencrypted ClearQAM (Digital Cable) signals but supports HD sound and image quality up to 1080i resolution, with variable aspect ratios of 4:3 and 16:9. Thanks to the high bandwidth of the PCIex1 interface you can watch flicker free HDTV on your Windows Media Center PC. Advanced PVR functionality lets you pause and rewind live TV, schedule recordings ahead of time and fast forward through the show to watch it at your own pace.

So what are you waiting for? Just give your existing HTPC a “power boost” to enrich your digital entertainment experience.

White box doesn't work with Aver Media program

Rating + 3
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: reviews sound good
Cons: Aparently the white box product is somehow disabled from working with AverMedia's media center software.

Other Thoughts: Wish they made this limitation clear, tried to install on XP without media center.... Probably should have bought retail version.
Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,
AVerTVHD Duet A188 designed to run on Windows Media Center (any version XP, Vista or Windows 7).
However we do have a retial version of this card and we do include our application.

Works great in SageTV

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Setup was no problem in SageTV. Detected both tuners. PQ is excellent. Great for those who have a mobo with an obstructed pci-e slot because there is no mini-jack on the card to get in the way of a poorly placed capacitor on the mobo. I can now use both pci-e slots! Plan to get another card so that I can have 4 digital tuners with only 2 cards.
Cons: None

Great Tuner Card

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Tunes in all local ATSC stations. No sound drop out or pixelation. Much better product than the two Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 it is replacing. The Happauge pixelated and sound droped out unless the signal was 100% this one works great with signals at 65%. Small card with two ATSC/QAM tuners. Very easy to install.
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: I have only tried it with ATSC. I have heard that it works well with QAM as well. For Windows 7 / Vista you will need to download drivers from AverMedia. After installation it worked great!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great price, great picture if you have a strong signal.
Cons: I RMAd the first tuner because of bad picture quality and sleep issues and this one did the same. After screwing for days I found the problem was actually in the CCC deinterlacing settings; using integrated ATI HD4200 Gigibyte MB w/HDMI. With deinterlacing set to max - "vector adaptive" I got the jittering picture on some channels and the bug screen on others. Settting to "motive adaptive" stopped the shuttering and bugscreen. Sleeping is still and issue although I suspect windows 7 x64 is at fault.
