At Computex 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan, AverMedia shows off their new digital TV Tuner solution for the Mac. It looks like a competent solution, and it’s great to see more TV tuner hardware that’s OSX compatible.
Look for it by the end of 2008. Pricing is likely to be on par with the other Volar series, which is around $100.
Here's how to get the show:|Download| - iPod-formatted H.264
|Download| - Apple TV High Resolution
|Download| - MPEG-4

This actually looks pretty cool. I haven’t seen the other Volar programs/solutions and this is the first time I hear about this company. But it looks very promising.
So where’s Aver at on this <a href=“http://www.mac-digital-tv-tuners.com/?ID=Gear”>Apple Mac compatible AverMedia Volar TV tuner stick</a>? Still hasn’t hit the market yet, but I guess we’ll find out at CES 2009 or the next Computex as to what they promised LAST YEAR. It’s a shame, it seems the PC Volar USB HD tuners have very low street prices. Would be nice to see a ‘value’ HDTV tuner available for the Apple Macintosh OS X market.
