[Mr.Gadget Australia] AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid + FM Cardbus Analogue & Digital TV Tuner : All digitised up: The AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid + FM Cardbus Analogue & Digital TV Tuner has a Time Shift function, most famously known in those Foxtel Digital ads, which allows you to pause live TV broadcast (should you be momentarily distracted) and continue from where you left so you'll never miss a beat. The Scheduling Recording makes sure that you won't miss any favourite shows and a 16-channel preview feature is rather handy for those who are terminally indecisive.
