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.

Test Setup

Epox 8RDA+ Motherboard with 3/5/2003 bios
AMD XP 2600+ Thoroughbred B Unlocked.
Corsair 2 x 512 PC3500
Maxtor 7200 RPM 80 gig HD
FIC ATI Radeon 9700 with Catalyst 3.1
16X DVD Rom
Antec 400W Power Supply
NVidia Unified Driver Package 2.03
Windows 2000 SP3
Chip-Con Prometeia

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.
