TV Wonder 550 enables a PC to gain access to a number of media sources including TV, FM radio and analog audio/video

Note: This product has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after February 17, 2009 to receive over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna in the United States because of the transition to digital broadcasting in North America. Analog only TV receivers will continue to work as before with cable TV and satellite TV receivers, plus other video devices such as camcorders and VCRs.
For more information, visit the U.S. FCC website on the digital TV transition at www.dtv.gov

TV Wonder 550 is loaded with leading-edge TV technologies. Features such as its advanced 3D comb filter, noise reduction, automatic color control, and automatic gain control produce brilliant, sharp video that rivals high-end consumer television sets.

This complete package further possesses the ability to allow you to watch the latest DVD title, author your own DVD, or convert your recorded TV shows to take with you on your Portable Media Player.
