At the time of writing (February) the transition from analog to digital should have already taken place. Millions of older televisions should have already been converted to ATSC (the new digital standard) through use of converter boxes. The American government had already given reminders of this date and provided applications to receive $40 coupons. None of this really mattered as people still were unaware of the change and money had supposedly run out for coupons. As a result newly elected President Barack Obama pushed for extending the deadline for the analog to digital switch and has pumped more money for coupons. The new date is set as June 12, 2009.

Today I will look at another solution for all you out there who haven’t made the switch, want to be able to watch digital television in the comfort of your computer and/or don’t want to spend big bucks on a new HDTV set just yet. Previously we had taken a look ATSC cards from Pinnacle and AverMedia and today I will be reviewing the AutumnWave OnAir GT which looks to offer portability (USB2.0), video quality and just the overall total package more so than we’ve seen up to this point. Read on to see how the OnAir GT performs and if it’s one of the solutions you need to weigh in your considerations.
