After reading ‘A World Without Marketing Speak’ by Chris, I thought I’d have a go. So I took the ATI TV Wonder for inspiration.

Attach an amplified antenna1 or your TV cable2 and you can watch, pause, or record high definition TV on your PC. Even analog TV is made brilliant as the 3D Comb Filter produces a sharp, true-to-life image.
Real life:
Watch, record and pause HD TV on your computer (if you can get it). Attach extra cables for more mess but not alot else. Analog TV might be improved with a filter-thing.
