COMPRO Introduces PCI Tuner Card With True Suspend to Disk Functionality Stephen Fung August 20, 2008 Press Release Just when you thought that digital set top boxes were going to take over, COMPRO introduces a new PCI Tuner card called the M800 that offers up some very impressive features. First off, they incorporate an NEC Chipset (D64083) for the 3D Y/C separation and noise reduction. This is the same chip found in expensive, high-end television sets giving the card a jump ahead in picture quality over competitors. Second, they are the only company to give users the capability to shut down their PC’s after a recording, or power up in time to record along with your recording schedule. This feature called Power Up Scheduling truly makes your home theatre PC into a real consumer electronic device that turns off and on with a remote, and responds like a regular PVR by taking advantage of suspend to hard disk functionality of modern PC’s (aka: ACPI:S5 Soft Off). Record quality is DVD-quality using MPEG-2. Now as along as TV stays analog for a while longer, this product might prove very useful. For more information, check out COMPRO’s website.
