New ATI HDTV Wonder Review

Designtechnica presents an interesting review of the new ATI HDTV Wonder PCI card for analog TV, free-to-air digital TV (DTV: SDTV and EDTV), and full quality free-to-air HDTV reception.

Is it good or bad? It's something in the middle.







From the article:

At $199, the HDTV Wonder allows you to pull in over-the-air digital broadcasts and regular analog cable TV on your computer. As with other TV tuner cards, the HDTV Wonder also allows you to use your computer as a personal video recorder, with the ability to record TV programs to your hard drive and pause or rewind live TV. Available only in the U.S., the HDTV Wonder allows you to get a taste of crystal clear HDTV broadcasts without having to purchase a new high-definition display.
