Asus My Cinema PCI-express Dual TV Card Asus My Cinema EHD3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/MCE RC

Last month we featured the new Asus Express TV Stick Hybrid and now Asus
have another item of PC TV tuner hardware vying for your attention,
though this time it's a PCI-express device as opposed to a USB dongle,
in the form of the Asus My Cinema-EHD3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/MCE RC PCI-express
Dual TV Card - the title of which even gives our often as not somewhat
extended post titling conventions a serious run for their money (respect).

The Asus My Cinema EHD3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/MCE RC PCI-express Dual TV Card,
which allows users to watch and record both analog and digital based
broadcasts (NTSC and ATSC/QAM respectively) comes complete with
integrated MPEG2 hardware based encoding functionality - thus serving
not to overly burden your computer's CPU - and, thanks to utilising the
PCI-e interface offers data transmission speeds of up to 500MB/s in
comparison to TV card that employ standard PCI slots which manage a mere
133MB/s - the result being particularly fluid video quality.
