If you're a video enthusiast, then you no doubt have (or want) a Home Theater PC. Not only can it replace an entire rack full of equipment, but it can do things that consumer equipment just cannot easily do... like record HDTV onto BluRay or HD-DVD disks. To even begin to step into this world, you need to record the raw HDTV signals, and there is no consumer equipment that lets you do that. You either have to hack a set-top-box (STB) to stream the signal over firewire, or record over-the-air (OTA) HDTV with a capture card. ADS Technology has introduced a video capture solution to grab those new-fangled digital airwaves and put them on your desktop... the ADS InstantHDTV PCI video capture card. It is a single PCI solution that allows you to not only capture HDTV, but has a full-blown hardware MPEG-encoder for standard defiinition TV and supports time-shifting, too.
