HDTV On Your PC - ATi's HDTV Wonder

Posted by michael on from the boob-tube dept.

Spinnerbait writes "ATi is getting their new High Def capable HDTV Wonder ready for release soon and there is a preview of the card over at HotHardware. It will be an add-in PCI card that will be bundled with their All In Wonder cards initially and eventually be sold as a stand alone product. High Def on a nice 23" Flat Panel... time to drool."

    Give it a week. I'm sure the same people who let you play your video games with some number found online will provide a way for you to watch Star Trek in the afternoon.

    I recognize that the entertainment industry is standing in the way of a component HD input card (and the cable/satellite companies are standing in the way of a direct-digital in, even if you put in an encryption smartcard handler), but that still doesn't mean that I care about getting HD over the air...

    (Frankly, why else get HD except for sports which I don't watch, bowdlerized upconverted movies and Discovery HD which isn't OTA?)

    Wake me when I can get HD digital satellite on a PCI capture card in Linux, and at least 768k DSL for less than $90/mo so I can tell Time Warner to eat ass.

    (and yes, I'm prepared for a long nap :p)
