These cards sold by Hauppauge have an onboard MPEG decoder and have originally been derived from the old Siemens cards. Based on an SAA7146 PCI bridge and an AV711x MPEG2 Decoder they look quite old-fashioned now but have worked reliably for a long time and been the base for Projects like VDR.

These cards used over time many different Demodulators and tuner modules, some examples are the STV0299 and the TDA8083.

A major drawback of this design is the limited bandwidth, HDTV receiption or raw MPEG2 Transport Stream access is not possible.

Linux Support is quite stable.
