This will be one of the best tunners out there! I am waiting for it to hit the shelfs... So, what do yous think of it? Will you be getting one? How much do you think they will cost? And yes thats a 16 meg SD chip for buffering on that card...
Edit! they will be out soon! "The NTSC version of the chip will ship next month, with the PAL version following in November. The chip is sampling now." Oh, joy!
"ATI said. A range of products from firms such as Gigabyte and Microstar are expected to appear on retail shelves within the next few weeks. Tul used the opportunity to already announce its product, named Powercolor Theater 550 Pro today."
