HDTV Tuner
This tuner adds an HDTV tuner to your computer, letting you take full advantage of the high-quality format. Network HDTV broadcasts are available over the air for free in most areas. In many cases, all you'll have to do is connect an HDTV antenna to the card to receive the signal.
PVR Functionality
The tuner comes bundled with Pinnacle TVCenter Pro software, which features an Electronic TV Programming Guide. Users can schedule TV recording by searching for keywords or using an electronic program guide. You can even schedule recording of an entire season of a TV show with a single click.
DVD Archiving
You can easily archive your recorded media to DVD to help you conserve hard drive space. You'll even be able to record video directly to DVD.
Remote Control
You wouldn't be watching TV without a remote control in hand. The included remote allows you to quickly change channels and navigate through the PVR software. This makes watching TV on your computer as easy as watching TV on your TV.
