ExtremeTech Yoinks 7/10 Rating for ATI's HDTV Card
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 08:40 AM
"...With Dish Network and DirecTV and TiVo's HDTV DVRs costing a $1,000, we saw the $200 add-in-board as a fascinating bridge to time-shifting HDTV for the rest of us. However, based on our experiences over the past week with the shipping version of the HDTV Wonder, and supplemented by user experiences chronicled on AVS Forum and Rage 3D that mirror our results, we cannot recommend the HDTV Wonder at this time. In fact, the product is now widely referred to as the HDTV "Blunder" by users on both forums. Even though we gave it a good rating of 7 out of 10, based on subsequent testing, we've lowered that to a 5. Here's why, from editor-in-chief Jim Louderback's first-hand experiences."
Ouch. This is not the kind of publicity you want to get if you're ATI and launching a new product. 8O
