    ATI TV Wonder 650 TV Tuner Finally Debuts for Macs

    ATI's TV Wonder 650 TV tuners have been out for PCs for a bit, but a Mac version of the Combo USB variety's arriving just this month for $149, and it comes in a special white case—guess they didn't get the memo silver's the new white. It's also sporting a polished new interface and parental controls in tvPortal, though spec-wise it appears to be the same as before (OTA Analog and HD) minus, weirdly, ClearQAM support, making it a pretty decent solution for a Mac mini HD PVR setup. This way for more photos. More »

    Bang & Olufsen DVD 2 Has TV Tuner, DVD Recorder

    Bang & Olufsen's latest sex-tastic DVD player doesn't just play back DVDs, there's an analog TV tuner, HDMI output, Guide Plus+, a 250GB hard drive and the ability to burn shows to DVD as well. This may not have TiVo-level functionality, but it's infinitely better looking. And when's the last time anyone besides that redhead on Sex and the City wanted to hump a TiVo?

    Dell Home Media Suite Up Close: There Are Worse Ways to Blow $11K

    While slightly lost in the shuffle among the uproar over its Black Ice-chilled XPS 710 H2C and sexy, aluminum-housed 27-inch 2707WFP, Dell's Home Media Suite packs a decent bit of top-notch hardware into the $11,000 bundle they showed off at CES, including the 2707WFP. The package gets you a Core 2 Duo-based XPS 410 outfitted with a TB of storage (there's room for three hard drives), Creative E-MU PM5 Precision Monitor speakers and Live! Voice webcam, dual HD AMD Wonder TV tuners, Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard, Dell Photo All-in-one 966 printer, and a Linksys WRT350N Draft-N Gigabit router with a Powerline AV bridge for streaming HD video. Running all of this, naturally, is Vista Ultimate, so the package will launch "on or about Jan. 30," according to the Dell rep. Why buy Vista all by its lonesome when you can buy all of this for 28 times the price? More pics than you probably need after the jump. More »

    Geforce TV Tuner: Video Everywhere, Still Nothing On

    Microtune Shrinks TV Tuners to Fit Inside Lifesaver Hole

    Microtune, the company that makes tiny TV tuners that are hidden inside more devices than you can shake a stick at, keeps shrinking its tuners more and more. Now the company has outdone itself. Its MT2131 delivers higher performance at 65% the size of everyday tuners, and will certainly soon find its way into a variety of PVRs, TV adapters, and multimedia cards. They call this little hotshot three-in-one because it can handle garden-variety NTSC TV signals, ATSC (which encompasses all the HDTV standards), and then digital cable-ready (DCR) standards, too. All this TV tuning goodness for $3 apiece? Remarkable. Coming soon to a video-capable device near you. More »

    Pinnacle PVR USB Key

    This very cute little terrestrial TV tuner with included PVR software is only available in the UK but records television in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and DivX formats and sells for about $100. While the PVR software isn't actually on the key itself, it's certainly a compelling idea. More »

    EvolutionTV PVR for Mac Reviewed (Verdict: Looks Pretty, Works Alright)

    Here s the bottom line, folks: this is a run-of-the-mill PVR and probably the best thing about it is how pretty it looks. The PVR is based on an anodized aluminum shell that would match perfectly with a Mac tower or Powerbook of sorts. It features a 125-channel analog TV tuner and the ability to use digital cable from composite or s-video connections. The software has the ability to encode the video into various codecs including MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX. Unfortunately, the software has its fair share of bugs and errors to hinder a full PVR'ing experience, but it's a start. It'll have to do until FrontRow 2.0 hits the scene. More »

    Hauppauge Live TV Tuner

    Add live TV to your PC with the WinTV HVR-900 TV Tuner, a very small USB 2.0 stick that plugs right into your laptop or any computer to let you receive analog and digital terrestrial TV. Not a bad thing to have when you're stuck at the airport and don't feel like watching Fox News, the HVR-900 comes with a high-gain aerial, letting you receive up to 40 digital channels. It also lets you record live TV to your hard drive and burn DVDs at 1.68GB per hour. Of course, the bundled travel aerial, which is really what you probably bought the thing for, may not bring video up to your usual standards. Plug-and-play and easy to install, check for the HVR-900 by end of month. More »

    MobiX USB TV Tuner

    This is a USB TV tuner from MobiX. It definitely has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are the goods: it's ultra-portable, USB-compatible, has DVR capabilities and records in a common MPEG2 format. And the bad: It looks stupid as hell and it is expensive, nearly $200 dollars expensive, and it has to be shipped from the UK. Need to watch TV that bad? Your call, I guess. More »

    Stuck in an airport with CNN yammering on and on in the background? Well, pop in the TerraTech USB TV Tuner and pick up reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. The TerraTec is a self-contained tuner with software for watching TV on your PC. Interestingly enough, you can also record live video through the tuner and it also pics up digital signals, which I suspect are a bit more prevalent overseas than here. More »
