The TV Wonder brand is resurrected!
The new ATI TV Wonder HD combines a very capable TV tuner with a lower end Radeon GPU to bring a one slot solution to home theatre PC's.
The TV tuner portion is quite capable:
- Analog TV (off the air or cable)
- ATSC off the air digital SD/HD input
- ClearQAM unencrypted cable QAM SD/HD input
The TV output portion is quite nice too:
- enhanced DVD upscaling
- HD decoding
- HDMI with Dolby 5.1
- accessory kit with additional I/O jacks available
The GPU portion is not meant for heavy gamers, but is sufficient for casual lower resolution gaming
- 120 stream processors
- DX 10.1 support
- 128 bit memory interface
The board has a PCIe 2.0 x16 interface, and comes with more software than you can shake a stick at.
The only thing that it really lacks, which would have made it a killer card, is the ability to record HD content from a component video input - which is conspicously absent from the device.
