Almost, ATI... almost

Cons: Remote didn't work. Web scheduling didn't work. Software very buggy and difficult to install.

Summary: I was really excite about this despite the mixed reviews. I am very technical and figured I could get around most issues posted regarding installation. I did get through most, though I never could get the remote to work properly. Drivers were not updated and the ATI website was not much help. The CD that came with it was useless, it only install half the software and you had to go hunting around on the disk to find the others. In the end I was installing anything that was called setup.exe even though I didn't know what it was.
The OTA HD look great. I was able to get 17 stations in my area. Recording was good, but the interface was terrible. Didn't work with MCE, which I knew. But still in the end after trying for two weeks to get the remote to work I decided to return it. Maybe the 650 will be better.

Great HDTV Tuner Card but Installation under MCE 2005 is tricky. Included Antenna works well.
by techno_lover on April 13, 2005
Pros: Great for HDTV. Included Antenns works fine. Great Price only $149 in Comp USA.
Cons: Installation is very Tricky. Analog TV tuner capabilities do not work under MCE 2005 though it is a issue of MCE rather than ATI.
Summary: I have a Entertainment PC(E-PC)(OS: MCE 2005, MB:INTEL915PBL, CPU:INTEL 3.6Ghz, 1GB DDR 2 memory, one 80GB IDE drive that has OS on it, 2 120GB ...

Summary: I have a Entertainment PC(E-PC)(OS: MCE 2005, MB:INTEL915PBL, CPU:INTEL 3.6Ghz, 1GB DDR 2 memory, one 80GB IDE drive that has OS on it, 2 120GB SATA data drives and an ATI X600 RADEON PCIE graphics card) hooked to an phillips 32 LCD TV. The whole set up is awesome especially when watching OTA FREE HDTV. The only issue was installing the card. MCE 2005 did not recognize the card as a TV tuner card when i first installed it. I had to install a Analog TV Tuner card(Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 MCE) and then MCE recognized the installed ATI HDTV Wonder. Once MCE recognized it the set up was easy. I recieve all OTA Free HDTV Channels in my Area.i use my E-PC basically as a HDTV TUNER and as a Progressive SCAN DVD Player.
Updated
The included remote does not work with MCE 2005. you will have to Buy a separate Remote for MCE 2005(around $30-$40 online).

Summary: I spent 3 days getting this thing to work! Finally after downloading nearly 100 Mb of data I got it to work on off the air signals only! Never did get it to work with my Direct TV or My Windows XP Media Center. I sent it back for a refund. Tech support wasn't much help either.
