Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP Deluxe Tuner Review

TV tuner cards have always served the general purpose of allowing the user to watch TV on his or her PC. For some, this removes the need for a separate TV set, thereby saving space.

Recently, however, with the advent of the TiVo and Home Theater PCs (HTPC) the tuner card has matured into something far more than a means to watch TV.

The Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 XP Deluxe comes with a list of features giving you the functionality of a TiVo for recording and time shifting, the ability to listen to FM radio and, with the included software, the ability to edit your video. The Deluxe model differs from the standard model in that it includes FM radio functionality, video editing software and a very handy remote.

I read the review.....but I think that I like the Asus card much better. The software suite is better and the remote control is more user friendly and more feature packed. I don't know for sure, but it also seems like with the use of the 9800 Pro the picture captures are of better IQ, without having the Leadtek card to directly compare with, I can not say for sure.
