ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 7500

Posted by michael on from the build-yer-own-tivo dept.

FlippedBit writes "ATi has released a very affordable All In Wonder product based on their Radeon 7500 chip. For a mere $200 smackers you can get decent 3D graphics, TV Tuner, TiVO functions, and a remote that will work from another room with no line of sight."

    I was just telling a customer that I didn't know of any easy way (read: my grandma can do it way) to turn his PC into a TiVo-like device. Looks like this might be it -- shall have to do some more research when I get to work.

    Let me save you some time - the only way this thing is like Tivo is that it can pause live TV, and it can record to a hard drive. It can't recommend shows you would like, it can't automatically record your favorite shows no matter when they air (like History Channel or TLC specials that change times on a weekly basis), and it can't view TV schedules more than 1 week out. I've had the AIW Radeon for about six months now, and I still want a Tivo.

    Where are the Mac OS X drivers? I have an Radeon AIW that works great with Mac OS 9 but is just a graphics cards w/ extra chips when booted Mac OS X. ATI is supposed to be one of Apple's good buddies but refuses to support Mac OS X 100%. That's why my money is starting to go to NVIDIA.

    Wake up ATI and smell the Aqua!
