The HDTV Wonder is a PCI card for analog TV, free-to-air digital TV (DTV: SDTV and EDTV), and full-quality, free-to-air HDTV reception. It offers personal video recorder capabilities, with the controls to watch, pause, and record all forms of TV to your system's hard disk, or to CDs and DVDs. In addition to analog cable support, the HDTV Wonder with its supplied HDTV antenna allows consumers to experience free-to-air HDTV broadcasts without having to subscribe to potentially expensive cable or satellite service charges.
HDTV is the technology of the future. It offers much higher resolution and clarity than analog TV and over twice the resolution of DVDs. The FCC has mandated that it replace analog TV. Broadcasters in the USA are well on their way to achieving this objective:
- Over 50 percent of TV shows and growing are currently broadcast in HDTV
- Over 80 percent of USA households get 5 or more DTV channels
Until now, a special TV costing in excess of $1,000 was required to receive HDTV (high-definition television) signals. Thanks to the HDTV Wonder, the PC is ready to become the home's first HDTV device. Now you can enjoy crystal-clear HDTV broadcasts on your current PC monitor at a very affordable price.
- HDTV Wonder will function as both a HDTV tuner and an analog tuner
- High-definition television does more than just increase image quality; all DTV shows are broadcast in digital stereo sound and most primetime content today comes in as Dolby Digital surround sound
Now you can receive DTV programming in more places across North America than ever before, and at no cost. There are currently 1,129 DTV stations on air in 202 markets in the USA, serving 99.35 percent of households.
Personal video recorder capabilities:
- Watch, pause, and record live analog TV, DTV, and HDTV
- Record TV programs to watch later, add TV clips to your presentations, and more
- Burn HDTV to DVDs and CDs
Treat yourself to the fantastic image quality of HDTV on your PC today with the economical HDTV Wonder and expand your digital universe.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and CriticismI bought this and hooked it up to my PC. In order to make it work I had to update my graphics card to the latest drivers (I have a NVIDIA GEForce 4 MX 440 with 64 meg of RAM so it is kind of slow compared to what is out there now) and update to the latest Microsoft Direct X drivers (you need to be 9.0 or above).
