ATI Theater 750 HD chip can bring OTA HD to PCs around the world

by Richard Lawler posted Jun 4th 2009 at 6:52AM

No matter what country one finds themselves in, a PC equipped with a TV tuner powered by one of ATI's new Theater HD 750 chips should be able to tune into any over the air TV broadcasts available. These give a step up over the hardware in the company's old TV Wonder 650 line by adding PAL, SECAM and DVB-T support to NTSC, ATSC and ClearQAM access. Of course Media Center PC owners can set up all manner of DVR features, and for that all-ATI feel combines with ATI Stream software and videocards to transcode video into a variety of formats. Expect the new tuners to come out in PCI Express, USB stick and other flavors later this year, if you can't wait, try a glimpse of the preview trailer embedded after the break.

If its the feasible, install a video card on pc that has DVI/HDMI outputs and plug a DVI/HDMI cable from your pc directly into your tv and set the resolution to match your TV's native display. For sound take a SPDIF cable (aux audio cable) and plug it from your sound card into your AV Receiver (or directly into your TV with the proper adapters) and BOOM your set.
