If you are looking for an HDTV tuner that offers both digital and QAM capabilities for your computer, you might want to check out the new Dvico FusionHDTV7. According to its manufacturer, the device is the first dual HDTV tuner PCIe card to hit the market. That means it is able to record two different HDTV channels at one time. In addition, it can tune into both analog NTSC or digital ATSC.

Although it is not unusual for an HDTV tuner card to offer the ability to tune into both analog and digital broadcasts, but it is different because it is able to record two different high definition shows at the same time. Of course, you can accomplish the same thing by simply purchasing two cards, but the FusionHDTV card costs less than purchasing two separate cards. In addition, it will save some PCI space on your computer. So, if you are looking to be able to record two shows at one time, you might want to check into this card.

Other features of the card include:

· Multi functional MCE remote control
· True HD time-shifting that includes fast-forward and rewind
· Low heat emission
· Picture-in-picture
· Automatic power-on
· Real-time-clock
· Ability to support Vista 32bit and 64bit
