take a look here..

"In addition to users viewing an HDTV broadcast, the HiPix DTV-200 features an intuitive on-screen user interface that enables the PC's hard drive to store, record and replay programming at the same high quality 1080i resolution. Now, users can store a program and watch HDTV programming at their own convenience.

The card provides Dolby Digital 5.1 audio and is also designed to take any video input resolution and transcode it to 720p or 1080i resolution. It can convert all 18 ATSC formats up to 720p and 1080i and also records the MPEG-2 stream."

RECORD MPEG2?? ONTO YOUR COMPUTER?? that would be SWEET!

I'm guessing that it might be able to decode the Dolby Digital 5.1 stream, but I don't care, it would be better to leave that up to your Reciever. why buy computer speakers, when you can just get the full deal with a REAL stereo setup! hehe..

anyway back on topic:

"PC receiver add-in card to support ATSC terrestrial broadcasts giving full resolution HDTV on either a PC monitor or television."

you can view it on you monitor and TV.. looks like it MIGHT be like the Hollywood +..

Umm ... its under $400. Not $400. I don't see a MSRP on there.

Maybe some hope that it would be $299?
