HDTV Is Here Now!
Today 95% of all households in the U.S. can receive HDTV from at least one network
broadcaster. And more than 85% can receive an HDTV signal from three or more
network broadcasters.
Enjoy all the clarity and brilliance of crystal clear HDTV broadcasts on your
PC monitor instead of buying a new HDTV. HDTV broadcast's look better because
they have up to 6 times the resolution of standard TV broadcasts and many broadcasts
include Dolby 5.1 Audio so HDTV sounds better too! And HDTV is FREE - HD Shows
are broadcast over the air, no need for cable TV or satellite subscriptions.
Just add Instant HDTV PCI and a TV antenna to receive HDTV! If you still have
analog Cable TV in your house you can also use the Instant HDTV PCI to receive
standard TV and Cable broadcasts in addition to HDTV broadcasts.
Full Featured Personal Video Recorder Capabilities
Instant HDTV PCI includes SnapStream's Beyond TV which transforms your PC into
a home theatre powerhouse with a powerful integrated electronic program guide.
Beyond TV lets you see "What's On" and watch it now or schedule for
future recording. Beyond TV incorporates powerful Digital TV capabilities that
allow you to Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind Live TV as well as recorded programs.
You have the power to program recordings of future airings by searching the
electronic program guide by title or keyword.

Amazing card. It is a memory and graphics demanding device though. Not to be unexpected for something that streams 1280p and 5.1 surround though. |

Overall this card works very well and is fairly painless to install. Having read the reviews on many competitors HDTV cards, this is apparently not always the case. The auto tuning makes finding local HDTV stations very easy. My system is fairly old: Athlon 64 3700+, 2GB RAM, dual GeForce 6600 cards in SLI mode, WIN XP 2, but the software has no problems and no picture glitches. If there is a downside, the Snapstream Media software is tedious to use and doesn't seem to allow quick 'minimize' of the TV screen like the Sabrent/Phillips setup on my standard PCI TV/FM cards. And it seems you have to 'subscribe' to Snapstream for continued use? That kind of spoils the deal of HDTV for @ $100. I wonder if the TV controls will still work without the subscription??? There seems to be limited info on this in the instructions... |

OUTSTANDING I have tried many setups and this one works excellent. You do need more RAM than the manufactuer suggests (1 gig) and at least a 6800 GPU video card. Once I did that the results were as good as my $5000 Pioneer plasma. |

A Quick Guide To TV Definition Terms
HDTV - (High Definition) television monitors reveal either 720 progressive
(720p), or a minimum of 1080 interlaced lines, known as 1080i. An HDTV will
show 540 lines at a time. These resolutions create extraordinarily sharp,
lifelike images as well as the truest and most vivid colors ever seen on
a television screen.
EDTV - stands for Enhanced Definition Television. EDTV monitors display
at least 480 progressive lines (480p). Because EDTV shows more lines simultaneously
than SDTV, its pictures are sharper, richer and more realistic.
SDTV - Standard Definition TV is what’s rapidly becoming old-fashioned television.
Although SDTV offers a decent picture we’ve grown accustomed to, it
features up to 480 interlaced lines (480i), but can show only 240 of them
at any given time. Although SDTV produces a sharp picture and good color,
its performance is dramatically inferior to HDTV or EDTV.
