New TV card, and death of old card

Posted by Xenomorph on Wednesday, October 10th, 2007
Posted in: General. Tagged: hardware, tv.

While moving stuff around on my computer, my STB TV PCI card from 1996 broke. The metal simply snapped due to age.

It had out-lasted half a dozen computer replacements, and finally wore out.

To replace it, I purchased the KWorld PlusTV HD PCI 120.

kworld_120pci_03

The TV card has an Analog Tuner, a Digital Tuner, an FM Tuner, a remote, and supports watching HDTV.

Using it reminds me of my STB TV PCI from a few years back – basically I’m left looking for software that actually works with it. The bundled Media Center software works Ok, and the only other program I’ve gotten to work with it is called “WatchHDTV”.

Because it’s a pretty new card, and there aren’t many references to it online, I decided to put up a review page on it – which helped me decide to put up a general review page as well.
