DUALTV MCE

Conclusion
Nearly all analog PC TV tuners
perform equally well. They tune to a specific
station, and allow your PC to record it, or
time-shift, and its simply as good as the rest of
your computer and the PVR sfotware.
The nVidia DualTV MCE has
brought something entirely new to the HTPC world -
dual very-high-quality tuners and a powerful A/V
processor, plus excellent stability with MCE 2005,
all in a single PCI card costing just a tad bit more
than other single-tuner HW-encoder cards.
Image quality was superb, recording and playback
performance was seamless and buttery smooth.
The remote control worked as advertised, and
integrated well with MCE 2005, controlling external
devices such as set-top boxes.
Overall......98%
Okay,
nVidia. You did very well on this one.
Next, please create a card with dual ATSC and QAM-enabled
tuners, and HD Radio tuner as well. Then,
offer it in both PCI and PCIe. Cut cost by
leaving out the remote, but offer a cheap IR and a
high-end RF/IR remotes separately. Now that's
a winner.
