Those looking for a fresh way to capture OTA signals on their computer need to look AMD's way, as the firm is kicking out three new ATI
TV Wonder devices today. Up first is the TV Wonder 650 Combo USB, which includes two TV tuners to pick up OTA HDTV signals / ClearQAM programming, analog TV and FM broadcasts. For those with desktops, the TV Wonder 600 PCI or TV Wonder 600 PCI Express should fit the bill quite nicely, as they offer up the same features as their USB sibling in less portable forms. Notably, all three units come bundled with Catalyst Media Center software, which enables the devices to quickly convert (read: "with two mouse clicks") recorded programming to formats suitable for use on the iPod, Zune, PSP, iPhone, Palm Treo, etc. Price wise, the 650 Combo USB will demand $149, while the other two (pictured after the jump) will run you just $99 apiece.

When ATI had vista compatible listed alongside their ATI 2006 AIW's before vista came out everyone thought they meant that the AIT 2006 tuners would also work on vista, but nope compatible meant that the video drivers would work, but no tuner support for vista. Seeing they can release new devices with tuner support for vista makes me even more upset, I use to be a big AMD ATI fan till this mess. I mean if they never claimed vista support I wouldn't have been upset...
