1st time post. Be gentle. ;)

It is not sold online so I think it can be found at B&M only.

It is a WinTV Model 401 so it has almost everything. Radio, s-video in, remote control etc etc.

$50 at Officemax

-$20 mail in rebate (from Hauppauge website).

Final cost: $30 + Tax.


Good price for a great TV card? Enjoy.

officemax.com has WinTV GO Item # 14258108, $49.99 - 10MIR. I think i saw the GO version some time ago at B&M before.
But no sure if they carry 401 or not.
link to 401 $20 rebate
BTW, hauppauge said its dbx-stereo, so i guess it use the 878A chip.

to clear some things up...

OfficeMax has the 190 Model and the rebate is for 401 Model.... So you cant send in the rebate from the Hauppauge website..

hope this is correct :p

Yep, I believe you are right. Just got off the phone with the OM store guy. He says they don't sell the 401 card and none of the other stores, at least in NC do either. OM had the 190 card without radio for $39 with a $10 MIR last week, I think.

Anybody had luck scoring a 401?

The 401 is a great card. Later models came with free remotes. Works under Linux too!
Anyway, if any of you are able to get a 401 at OM for $50 with a $20 rebate for a final price of $30,
that's pretty HOT IMHO. They sell USED on ebay for around $50+.

The 401's are $49.00 clearance I can confirm ... stock will vary but there are plenty out there. ;) Combine that with the $10 off $50 coupon that just came out .... sweet deal.

I'm at home so can't say for anywhere else but the district around me has 40 of them floating around ..... well 39 now :D

Hi,

Just got one model 401. $49.00+somthing $1.00 more - $10 of $50 - $20.00 rebate = $20.00. HOT???
The card is quiet old, it said under the box 1998 and support Win95/98.
Oh, it does not have remote in the box but has sticker to mail and get it later by mail.
I wish this card should work fine with 2000/XP. The Hauppauge website has all software support for 95/98/Me/2000/XP.
There are a lot of them in the that I bought, my town, South Miami, FL. They put them in the CLEARANCE section.





A question?, On the card it said NTSC. Would the card work with PAL?
Anyone has this card, please share with us.


I'll let you guys know, when I finsih the installation.

.............there are updated apps at the Hauppauge site
which may help resolve your problem with recording. LOL

works fine for me. Sounds like you'll have to hunt radioshack or the WinTV site to order one.

$20.00 REBATE????????
The link provided above by Isman may be wholly misleading.
Searching out a full copy of this rebate discloses references
to a version of the 401 tailored for XP---for which this rebate
appears to also be tailored.---box cover pic of a surfer.
Those who were able to get this ver. for 49.00 should do okay
on the rebate---otherwise seems doubtful:(
Hope I'm wrong--no surfer or mention of XP on the box
in front of me.....LOL
