Reviewed on September 1, 2005

ATI Theater 650 Pro
Reviewed on June 7, 2006
Though it improves upon the category leader, with CableCard's technology for PCs on the horizon, ATI's latest TV tuner chip, the Theater 650 Pro, is only a stopgap solution for those looking to add TV to their PC.

AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB
Reviewed on June 4, 2007
While there are more portable TV tuner/antenna combos for frequent travelers, the AVerTV Hybrid Ultra USB is a good choice for more sedentary Media Center users looking for an affordable and easy way to watch and record TV. The kit would be more useful, however, if the included antenna were bigger.
