AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet Dual TV Tuner Hits US AVerTVHD ATSC/ClearQAM HD PCI-Express TV Tuner

AVerMedia have now confirmed that their PCI-Express based AVerTVHD Duet
Dual TV Tuner, which comes with onboard Over-the-Air (ATSC) and
Unencrypted Digital Cable (ClearQAM) tuners, is now becoming available
in the US.

Utilising the extra bandwidth offered by the PCIe bus as opposed to
standard PCI, the AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet Dual TV Tuner, which is
certified for use with Windows Vista, as well as playing ball with XP
Media Center and the up and coming Windows 7 OS, offers 1080i HD
resolution is both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios and, as one would expect,
it'll not only allow you to watch live TV broadcasts on your PC but will
additionally allow you to pause and rewind live TV as well as record
using its own TV Recording Scheduler and EPG.

Cleverly, apart from offering picture-in-picture functionality, as far
as recording is concerned, it'll happily record a differing channel to
that being watched or, if you want to record two broadcasts
simultaneously, it'll do that too without even raising a sweat - all
thanks to AVer's bundled MediaCenter application.

Another interesting feature that'll doubtless sway those interested in
watching recorded TV on their iPod, cell phone, PMP or Sony PSP is the
AVerTVHD Duet Dual TV Tuner's ability to save recordings with H.264
encoding.

The not unimpressive AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet Dual TV Tuner is rolling
out across the US as of now and will set you back a mere (and highly
impressive, given its capabilities) $70 or, if you want the PVR
functionality offered courtesy of AVer's MediaCenter application - and
who wouldn't? - just $90.
