PixelView PlayTV PVR
Computers are incredibly versatile
machines capable of allowing you watch movies, play video
games, listen to music and even be productive at times. If
you manage to find spare time, why not add two more forms
of entertainment into the mix? Television and Radio.
Prolink has released their PixelView PlayTV PVR, a PCI
card that does exactly that and a little bit more.

My setup easily surpasses the
minimum requirements of a Duron processor and even the
recommended 800 MHz.
Parts
I was impressed with all that came with the card. Not only
did you come with the standard remote, it also included a
coil for the FM tuner card. Throw in the composite to
S-Video connector and you should be set. A different back
is included for small form factor computers. |
