Title: What ATSC Tuner Should I Buy?
Post by: benn600 on September 07, 2007, 06:45:21 pm

I've purchased three tuners recently plus one I bought a while back.  None of them work as they should.  They all have problems or lack ATSC for various reasons.  Please tell me what ATSC digital card I should buy.  It has to support high definition video and have a good tuner.  It also MUST work very well with Media Center.

A while back, the answer was simple - ATI HDTVWonder because that was the first ATSC device we supported. It is also by far the best I have tried.

Now there are more choices, many we have not tested. I am not even sure if ATI still sells ATI HDTVWonder. They probably have newer products. You can try one of them.

I just tried KWorld PlusTV HD Stick 330. It works, but not very well. The HDTV part works, but reception is not as good as my old ATI HDTVWonder - using the same antenna that came with the ATI device. The KWorld's portable antenna is much less powerful. The antenna is a big issue if you live far from the TV stations as I do (I am 25 miles from most stations, except one). I also noticed an issue with the analog portion of KWorld device. That however is easy to fix, and I will fix it soon.
