 Looking for a quick way to get HD programming on your PC? The folks at ATI have two new alternatives for both laptop and desktop users alike. First up is the TV Wonder 600 USB, an external USB dongle that turns your lappie into a portable TiVo with the ability to record HD content straight to your notebook's drive. The device comes with a remote control and ATI's Catalyst Media Center software.
Desktop users who want in on the action can pony up for the 650 PCIe, an internal card with dual tuners, which means you'll be able to watch the Daily Show while you record your favorite Seinfeld reruns. The card can also pick up over-the-air HD programming, delivering it straight to your desktop.
Pricing hasn't been set on either of the units, but they're expected to roll out in September. If you can't wait that long, you always have Pinnacle's USB HD tuner, which does the same for just over a Benjamin.

I can vouch for Pinnacle's USB tuners. I've had one for over six months now, and haven't had problem one with it. They have a cheaper model out now sans-remote that I've seen on sale for less than $80.
