WinTV v10 Application Download

This download is a complete WinTV v10 application, including Windows drivers for supported WinTV products plus utilities.

WinTV v10

Note: this version has a fix for the bug with the WinTV-quadHD or WinTV-HVR-1265 where the board is not recognized after a Windows update or reinstall of Windows.
Please note: due to changes in Microsoft's code signing policy for Windows 7 and 8, new drivers cannot be signed for the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and 8. The WinTV v10 application will work, but the drivers will not install without warning messages. Windows 10 and 11 will install normally.

New features:

New satellite channel table for Astra 19.2E and new satellite FM radio stations
Record to network drive (NAS drive). The latest version of WinTV v10 will automatically move your recordings to a network drive after the recordings are complete, freeing up space on your local disk
XMLTV guide data now supported

Satellite TV and Radio Troubleshooting

Loss of satellite channels?

From time to time, the transmission frequencies for individual satellite TV channels are changed. As a result, you may not have a satellite TV picture or sound, or you may not be able to find a channel. In this case, proceed as follows:

Step 1: Open WinTV v10. Click the gear icon ("Settings") at the bottom left of WinTV.

Step 2: Go to the Devices tab

Step 3: Select your WinTV tuner and then click Setup Tuner

Step 4: Choose Next

Step 5: Click on the Delete All Existing Stations button. This will remove all channels from the WinTV channel database.

Step 6: Then click Next to scan for channels again.

Once the channel scan is complete, you should now have a good channel list.

If you still can't get a satellite TV channel, there may be a problem with your satellite dish or the TV station may be offline.

Note: You must "Clear All Existing Channels" before searching for channels, otherwise there may still be a "bad" channel in your channel list.

Poor satellite TV reception or missing some channels?

We have found that some LNBs require the external power supply (which comes with both the WinTV-NOVA-S2 and 461e) is needed to be plugged in to the WinTV-NOVA-S2/461e. In many cases, if you install the external power supply and rescan for satellite TV channels (see instructions here) you will get your TV channels which are missing.

Here are some notes on connecting the Hauppauge satellite TV receivers to your dish (LNB)

The settings for DVB-S LNB and Diseq

Diseq 1.0 is supported, but not Diseq 1.2

Unicable satellite distribution systems are not supported

Some universal LNBs are supported

Broadband LNBs are not supported

There are LNB and Diseq settings that need to be checked in WinTV v10. These settings can be found in 'Settings' (gear icon on the lower left of WinTV v10) -> 'Devices' -> (choose your TV tuner) -> 'Tuner Setup'

Problem with audio on satellite radio?

No sound from individual satellite radio stations? The reason might be that your satellite radio station recently changed audio formats.

In the latest version of the WinTV v10 application, we have added the necessary audio decoders so that you can receive satellite radio again.

I have a new type of Quattro Universal LNB and cannot pick up channels during a channel scan

You might need to change the LOF Switch setting.

In the WinTV10 software settings for Digital DVB-S Setup, the default value for “LOF Switch” is 11700hz. Some universal Quattro LNBs will need this setting changed to 22000hz

Here is how to change this setting:

• click the 'gear' icon on the lower left of the WinTV v10 application
• then go to the 'Devices' tab
• select your Hauppauge satellite tuner and click 'Tuner setup'
• under 'Digital DVB-S Setup', look at the setting for 'LOF Switch'
• the default is 11700. Change this to 22000
• click 'Next' and rescan for channels

Problem with Unicable?

The Hauppauge satellite TV receivers do not support Unicable systems.

Problems with Premium Satellite TV?

Premium satellite television is often encrypted. Hauppauge satellite TV receivers are for free-to-air satellite TV and radio only and cannot decode premium satellite TV.
