Adaptec's AVC-3610 USB TV tuner with dual encoding
If you’ve been looking for a tuner for your PC, and those PCI slots are all full up, you might want to check Adaptec’s new USB 2.0 TV tuner. The AVC-3610 is designed for the Windows Media Center 2005 OS, but it should be fine with other DVR software. It has dual MPEG-2 hardware encoding from Coaxial, S-Video and RCA inputs, along with a FM radio receiver, and they’re also throwing in a remote for controlling your media center along with your other snazzy media components. It’s no bargain, the box will cost you $229, but if you can swing it we’re sure you can put all those inputs to good use.
