===Digital Terrestrial/Satellite===
Hauppauge [[Digital terrestrial television|digital terrestrial]] and [[satellite television|satellite]] products capture [[DVB-T]] and [[DVB-S]] broadcasts respectively without the need to re-encode the streams. There are several benefits from this approach:
* the cost of the [[TV tuner card|TV card]] can be lower because there is no need to supply an [[MPEG-2]] encoder
* the quality of captures can be higher because there is no need to re-encode streams
* ratio of file size to quality is higher due to the broadcasters' high-efficiency encoders
Until August 2004 all of Hauppauge's DVB products were badge-engineered TechnoTrend products. The first of the new Hauppauge-designed cards was the Nova-t PCI 90002 and the silent replacement of the TechnoTrend model caused confusion and anger among Hauppauge's customers who found that the new card didn't support TechnoTrend's proprietary interfaces. This rendered any existing third-party software unusable with the new cards. The new cards also came with a software packaged called WinTV2000 which lacked features that TechnoTrend's software had including seven-day [[Electronic program guide|EPG]], Digital [[Teletext]] and LCN-based channel ordering. The new cards supported Microsoft's BDA standard but at the time this was at its infancy and very few 3rd party applications included support for it.

By 2005, all of the TechnoTrend products had been removed from the Hauppauge lineup, with the exception of the DEC2000-t and DEC3000-s which haven't seen a replacement.
