DEAD: ATI USB HDTV Tuner - Today only! $25

[buckshot24]

Kind of a double bummer for Woot taking so long to get them out to Fedex and for Fedex to take so long in their shipping time. Eight days for Fedex to get my package from Texas to Michigan? That's ridiculous.

Check today, my expected ship date went up to the 17th.:awe:

I think they are sending it by pack mule.

The good - They upgraded my shipping to air mail!

The bad - They're having trouble locating the passenger pigeons.

I just received my USB hdtv tuner. Works great in win7 64bit. Just install the cd contents and then the Win media player will pick this up and all the remote functions will work!

Good luck all.

How is the quality? How quick is it when switching channels?

Sweet, mine showed up today as well. I guess since this FedEx budget shipping is through USPS, they deliver on Saturdays.

Yep - I was surprised by this too!

I tried using both ATI software and Microsoft software and honestly I was pleased with the performance. Under a second to change channels using the remote. The remote isnt the best in terms of response but for 25bucks, I'm glad I got a remote.

Channel changing speed is probably 1-2seconds per click.. But I can't honestly say this is an accurate measure because my system currently has 1gig of ram. Still waiting on my 4gigs in the mail.

EDIT- rebooted the system takes at most 1sec per click for a channel change. So I'd consider it fast.

Unfortunately I can't pick up many channels here (only one digital and a few analog), but I wasn't expecting to. Mainly got this because the price was good, and I'll probably be moving in the next year or so and will be able to put it to use then. Seems to work well with the few channels I can pick up, though.

Does anyone know if the device supports FM radio? I thought I read on a few sites that it did, but radio under the Catalyst Media Center doesn't seem to work. I'm guessing it either doesn't support it, or I've got something configured wrong.

I received mine today as well, and I'm far more impressed with this usb tuner than the last tuner I tried.

Can only pick up one HD signal with the antenna, but fortunately, it's the network that has the show I enjoy watching.

No troubles, and I'm using Win7 64.

thanks, Op for the great deal.
