Dvico FusionHDTV7: World’s first dual HDTV (digital or QAM) tuner PCIe card

This is the Dvico FusionHDTV7 and it makes a claim to be the World’s first dual HDTV (digital or QAM) tuner PCIe card, basically it’s the first PCIe card capable of recording two HDTV channels at once. The FusionHDTV7 can tune into analog NTSC or digital ATSC, this is like many other HDTV tuner cards, but these other cards cannot record two high definition shows at once, so that may include you watching a live program, while it records another channel.

You may say “I can get all these features with two cards”, but with the FusionHDTV costing around $140, I am sure it’s a cheaper solution and also one that says you PCI space. The main features on the FusionHDTV card include a multi functional MCE remote control, true HD time-shifting with FF/REW/Positioning, low heat emission design for PC eco-system, simultaneous 2 Channel recording Picture-in-Picture, automatic Power-On Recording with Real-Time-Clock, supports Vista 32bit & 64bit certified drivers, and the device also supports Digital cable (64QAM/256QAM) and ATSC terrestrial reception.

If you want to record more than one program you can do it in these combinations, one HD and one analogue reception/display simultaneously or two HD channels (ATSC or QAM) reception/display/recording simultaneously.

Its hard not to think this is a better solution than having two separate cards, unless you are happy with watching and recording one channel at a time.

The Dvico FusionHDTV7 is priced at $139 on CybereStore
