Search for the support page of your Hauppauge product by product code

How to find the product code of your Hauppauge product:

Hauppauge product codes on WinTV internal boards are normally found on the TV tuner. This is a five digit number normally followed by a revision (REV). You need to look at the first two numbers to determine the product type. The other numbers are related to the accessories which are on the product.

On the MediaMVP, WinTV-USB and other "boxes", the product code is normally on a label on the bottom of the case.
