"In the box is an application called ATI Catalyst Media Center. You can do all of your TV recording, You can pause, record, fast forward and rewind your TV content. With that application you can also stream it to your portable media players such as the iPod, the Zune player from Microsoft, the Creative Zen. Different formats and different flavors of video can be converted from your content that you receive through TV Wonder."
Pricing starts at about 99 dollars. The devices from ATI do not include the ability to control cable or satellite boxes using an IR blaster…the kind used by Tivo boxes, for instance. Windows Vista based PCs being sold today include media center functions…and often all that's missing…is a TV tuner to turn them into full fledged DVRs. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.
