Introduction
If
you have been reading our reviews, we have reviewed quite a number of HDTV ready
mATX boards in the past months. Most of these boards, be it for the Intel or AMD
platform based on the ATi RS600 or RS690 (690G) has the capability to decode the
blu-ray or HD DVD movies at low CPU utilisation.
Blu-RAY and HDDVD titles are
still readily available and it might will only mean that you would probably
watch terrestial tv broadcasts on your PC.
As most of the boards these days all comes with a PCIe x1
which is left unused, Compro came out with a PCIe x1 TV tuner card which will
fit into these mATX boards. Using PCIe x1, it has more bandwidth than the older
PCI bus. Furthermore, the card is smaller and low profile design, this helps to
cool down the system too.

capture card, with high bandwidth and speed. It brings worldwide analog TV/FM
broadcasts to your desktop PC, and turns your computer into a home entertainment
center by bringing you TV viewing/recording, video/audio capturing, and high

With Compro’s exclusive ComproDTV 3 software, you can awtch analog tv broadcasts
(PAL/NTSC/SECAM) and record shows. You can even watch timeshift live TV, channel
