How good is the ATI HDTV WONDER card?

I've heard there have been some installation issues with it. Though I'm sure subsequent software updates have fixed it.

Personally I recommend the FUSION hdtv card series. I have the GOLD T 3 model. It works great. It has an rf input and a jack adapter for av inputs. The picture is superb and has interface capability with titantv.com. You just click on the program you want to record and it will add it to your program list automatically. The neat thing about that is it will automatically segment your recordings into the time blocks you need - ie 1 hour shows into one hour blocks, 2 hour shows into 2 hour blocks, etc.

The model I got came with a remote which is really slick.

And the price was great. I bought mine online for a $100 in December. This is a model or two older. I think they're up to 5 now in the FUSION series.

You may want to shop around before you commit to ati. Just keep your options open.

Is titantv Free?
Will this work with the ATI TV cards?
Thanks.

titantv is free. I don't know what it is compatible with. You can use it like any webbased tv guide just to look at the upcoming shows but to actually load it into your program it would have to be compatible. Take a look at www.titantv.com. I'm sure there is a compatibility list somewhere.


EDIT - It is compatible with the hdtv wonder:

Same here, got the Fusion Gold 5 RT. Very nice, MUCH better than the MyHD MDP-100 I bought a few months back and its compatible with most PC- PVR programs. I plan on buying another one, cheap too, 150$ for the RT. 100$ for the Lite.

The ATI HDTV WONDER has been mostly a 1st attempt failure.

See it in the bargain bins. All the workarounds have been 3rd party. ATI has abandoned it and provides weak support. Wait for their next effort.
