Point of View NVTV

Ever wondered what a decoupled NVIDIA Personal Cinema tuner would be without their GPU baggage? Wonder no more. Point of View, U.K. newcomers whose 5900XT we reviewed recently, sent over a sample of their NVTV implementation.

If and when NVIDIA get round to giving ForceWare Multimedia the polishing it sorely needs I'll be happy to recommend it; the hardware is good. It could do with tuning digital terrestrial television, but that should appear in due course (although sadly not with the current hardware revision).

But until that software overhaul, or spit and polish, I can't really give it a glowing recommendation. Giving the ForceWare Multimedia interface a miss to try your hand with the card and something like myHTPC or SnapStream BeyondTV might be an idea, but then there's arguably better hardware to choose for that route.

Any idea when Nvidia are planning to release the Nforce Multimedia App for download as I am still very much wanting to use this with my 5950 Ultra VIVO.
