Hauppauge has announced the line-up of Vista-suitable TV tuners as well as a new Stick TV tuner with twin tuners.

The WinTV Nova-TD features Antenna Diversity so that reception is improved in weak signal areas. The two aerials book reception to the two built-in tuners.

In stronger reception areas, the same technology means that you can get reception on the move, in a car or train, up to a 100mph.

When in areas of good reception, the Diversity stick can also operate as a twin tuner so you can watch one channel and record another. The Nova-TD Stick costs £80, and is compatible with Windows Vista, XP, and Media Center Edition.

Hauppauge has also emphasised that 13 of its tuners work on Vista and the Media Center, with new software drivers included with all products shipped from today.
