DViCO FusionHDTV5 Gold USB HD tuner reviewed

Posted on 13 December 2005 by admin


It’s not unusual to see computers — especially laptops — marketed as media PCs lacking one key media component: an HDTV tuner. Though many offer add-on tuners, the idea of buying a tuner from a manufacturer who was too cheap to include it in the first place bugs us a little. We’d rather have a choice from third parties (along with the PC-maker, if theirs really rocks). So, we’re glad to see models like DViCO’s FusionHDTV5 Gold USB tuner making the rounds, and getting good reviews as well. The FusionHDTV5 got the full treatment from eHomeUpgrade, which found that it was relatively easy to set up — though, not surprisingly, there were a few hiccups doing an install on an XP Home box, while an MCE install was smooth. Signal strength for over-the-air HD broadcasts was good, and the tuner worked well with MCE to record in “incredible” quality. At $149, the FusionHDTV5 looks to be a pretty good deal — and hopefully the start of a robust and competitive market for third-party tuners.

Mio GPS PDA A201

Posted on 13 December 2005 by admin


So Mio is busting out a new GPS PDA, in Europe at least, titled the A201 and sporting that snazz SirfStar III chipset. It runs Windows Mobile 5 and a 312MHZ Intel Bulverde processor, and its rotating antenna allows the unit to operate in portrait or landscape mode, whichever suites your navigating mood, while still maintaining a solid GPS signal. The device also does Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, though WiFi is sadly absent. The £239 ($418 USD) price tag ain’t too shabby, but you’re going to need to bring your own GPS maps to the party, so your pocketbook is still going to be taking that customary GPS induced hit.

Posted on 13 December 2005 by admin


We’ve been around the credit card sized USB drive merry-go-round a few times, but unless you’re ready to really bulk up your wallet, you’re probably not going to slip any of those into your back pocket anytime soon. The times they are a-changin’ however, with the Walletex Wallet Flash drive finally nearing the actual thickness of a credit card, sporting USB 2.0, weighing 12 grams, and ranging in capacity from 128MB to 2GB. The cards start at $29.
