ATI TV Wonder Elite Review

Quote from Designtechnica’s review:

“Certification by the Imaging Science Research Labs is what Media Center PC builders have been waiting for, and ATI’s new TV Wonder Elite has it. Using ATI’s new Theater 550 Pro video processor, the TV Wonder Elite promises the best video quality available coming from a traditional analog cable or over-the-air broadcast. With a street price between $150 and $200 dollars respectively, the ATI TV Wonder Elite is compatible with Microsoft’s Media Center Edition 2005 and other media software packages. Add to the mix PVR recording capabilities and a little taste of the multimedia environment and ATI just might have a hit on their hands. But can they can they compete with the likes of Hauppauge and other TV tuner card manufacturers?”  Read more...

ATI’s Multimedia Center 8.8 Review

Quote from the review at Anandtech:

“ATI’s Multimedia Center has come a very long way since the original All-in-Wonder cards and has gained more steam with features like MulTView, ThruView, EazyLook, etc. Multimedia Center 8.8 features EazyShare, a new feature that provides users the ability to share live or recorded TV from a single PC equipped with an All-in-Wonder card. Any PC on the network then can tap into the shared TV signal, but it must have a Radeon graphics card to do so. This transitions the All-in-Wonder from a personal video recorder into a public video recorder.”  Read more...
