ATI TV Wonder HD 600 PCIE PC TV Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was able to get this card on a woot special of $19.99 and had the card installed in 5 minutes working perfectly in a quad-core Dell XPS using Windows 7 Media Center which immediately picked up all my analog and digital HD channels. I ignored the install CD and went straight to the ATI TV Wonder website: [...]. I installed the ATI Theater Drivers for Windows v10.3 (3/23/10) and then opened Windows Media Center which recognized the tuner and picked up every single analog and digital channel that I was expecting. Awesome card to get HDTV and DVR on your Windows 7 PC. This works just as well as my Elgato EyeTV 250+ on OSX 10.6.2 Snow Leopard for those of you that also have Macs to give you a comparison. I suspect the new drivers dated 3/23/10 corrected many of the problems that prior reviewers described.
**Update 5/28/10**
I've used this card to record HD channels such as NCAA Final Four and other shows and this card works great with Windows 7 Media Center. Not a single problem with freezes or reboots!
