Hey,
Drumzac,
The TV Wonder 650 is available in Canada. We have only shipped 500 units across Canada. I am not sure where they all went but if you check
www.canadacomputers.com they seem to have 2 in Mississauga, and 1 in Waterloo as of right now. I'm sure you can find more if you look around.
I seen octavean mentioned a cheaper tuner without OTA HD that may better suite your needs. I would like to mention that the analog picture quality on the TV Wonder 650 would be much better. So if quality is any concern to you I would still recomend the TV Wonder 650. If you are looking to save money, we also have the TV Wonder 200, wich retails about $80, Canadian $.

For the issue with dual 650's in MCE, this is not only an issue in MCE. I have been able to reproduce this issue in MCE and also CMC. I am pushing this issue to be fixed, and I will keep you up to date on what is being done, and there has been nothing done so far.
We do support dual TV Wonder 650's in MCE, but this issue is NOT an MCE issue, it is an issue with dual TV Wonder 650's in general.
Octavean,
There's not too much I can say about Vista MCE. We need to get microsoft to fix this issue for all hybrid tuners. It will likely be available in a vista update soon after the release. And if you are really desperate to switch to vista, and want to be able to switch between analog and digital easily, you can use CMC when we have it available. Either way, nothing will be ready until late January at the earliest.
Anyone interested,
As for my status at ATI/AMD, I work in the department "TV Products." A few things about me.. I am NOT tech support. I only come on hexus forums as a side job when I am not busy with testing. I am also NOT an engineer, but I work directly with them. To you, I am your inside man if you have any questions. And obviously I am restricted on many of the things that I can tell you, so I will do my best to answer most of your questions. And it is up to you to believe that or not, I am just trying to help out a bit.
