HD/SD PCI-E TV tuner
AVerMedia has released the Combo PCIe, notable for being one of the few internal TV tuner cards to use PCIe, and support both HD and standard-definition signals. The Combo is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Media Center computers, and can handle ATSC and QAM broadcasts, whether they're sent over-the-air or through coaxial cable. Users can also rely on the card to connect AV equipment, such as camcorders and DVD players, or operate as a PVR unit, recording on schedule (or timeshift) in MPEG-2 format. A special 3D comb filter is said to lower the CPU demands of the Combo versus other cards. The product is out now for $120.
