Plug the WinTV HVR-3000 into a free PCI slot in a desktop PC and voilá; it converts the PC into a digital TV. When you connect it to a TV aerial and/or satellite dish, you will be able to view programs in full screen or in a resizable window and, thanks to the SoftPVR software supplied, you will also be able to schedule and record programs for later viewing. The recorded video can be stored in your PCs hard drive or burned to DVD. In addition, the HVR-3000 includes an FM tuner, allowing owners to listen to and record FM radio, digital DVB-T radio or digital DVB-S radio. And the product includes a remote control! |
