With ADS Tech’s new TV tuner/video capture device, consumers can enjoy all of the brilliance of crystal-clear, over-the-air HDTV broadcasts on their PC monitor without having to buy a new HDTV or pay subscription fees. Instant HDTV PCI is part of ADS Tech’s industry leading TV tuner product line; and like its Instant TV Deluxe™ PCI card, which was recently certified by Microsoft®, was designed for media center products."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/PTV-380.jpg" /><br /><br />ADS Tech claims that 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 which is a bit optimistic in my opinion. But this product will help turn your PC into an HDTV Home Theatre where you can enjoy the crystal clear quality of HDTV Broadcasts and watch, record and playback HDTV on your PC. I think this is a pretty good deal at $129.99.
