I bought ATI HDTV Wonder card which comes with remote and ATI MMC. This is not finished product. First I installed CD version (9.04), then upgraded to latest web release (9.08), which just simply did not work. After inquiry they sent me instructions to uninstall all ATI stuff and reinstall only the new version. That works - more or less...
1. Their specs are joke - HDTV recording crahes on my Athlon 2.2+. Not enough CPU.
2. This version supports (new for 9.08) use of TitanTV as programing guide. Well, it does not work. The recording is always set to only one particular channel and use of analog TV. Supposedly they know about it and are looking into it... This should be trivial to fix, but seems to take forever.
3. Programing recording seems to be done as some king of "after thought" to everything else, the method is, well, cumbersome.
4. And when you think you programmed recording correctly, the program ignores some of the parameters - for example it always saves in default location, independent of what location you actually gave it.
5. That said:
a. with the HDTV Wonder it seems to work just enough to be useable
b. the remote seems to work very well
c. The applications (TV, HDTV...) seem to come up much faster that Hauppauge products did
d. The picture is really nice, especially HDTV
and so I hope that on new dedicated computer (Athlon 64 3.4Ghz) this will be useable as PVR & multimedia center... |
