AVerMedia’s TV tuner products transform a typical PC into a personal entertainment, offering features such as TV program recording, FM radio listening, Video Capture & DVD Authoring System, etc.

AVerMedia’s TV tuner Growth Since 1992, AVerMedia has been on the forefront of TV Tuner technology. However, the early TV tuner cards could only work with an extra image capture card with a high cost of around $300.00 USD. They also required very fast CPUs and large storage capability of which the average consumer was not able to obtain. Therefore, the market was primarily limited to technical and PC professionals. However, with the emergence of affordable, faster and more versatile PCs, accessibility and demand for TV Tuners has shown a great increase over the past few years, similar to cell phones and digital cameras. More efficient manufacturing and better technology has allowed the average cost of a TV Tuner to be affordable and desirable for the average consumer.

Beginning in 1996, the TV Tuner demand began a steady worldwide increase with AVerMedia accommodating the demand in South America, US, Europe, Asia, Middle East and more. While many VGA card or Motherboard manufactures attempted to enter this field, they were not able to compete due to their inexperience and lack of market understanding. Only AVerMedia has remained strong and successful due to its profound market experience, technology and innovation. AVerMedia continues to offer new TV Tuner technologies combined with the quality and value it is most known for.
