DMZ Deals: ATI TV Wonder 600PCI-e and 650PCI $25

Woot.com has you set if you’re looking to add a new tuner to your HTPC or looking for that (close to) last minute gift idea for the HTPC geek on your shopping list.

For today, and I have to assume until gone, the site is selling the ATI TV Wonder 600PCI-e or 650PCI tuners for $19.99 plus the standard $5 shipping.  I was able to find the 650 on Amazon for around $70 so you’re obviously saving some money.

Both cards will handle NTSC, ATSC or QAM signals so either one should cover you no matter what type of connection you’re using.  See full spec below.
