NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa. –(Business Wire)– Jan. 4, 2007 AutumnWave will team up with distributor Wynit Inc to display their recently launched OnAir GT Mobile HDTV Tuner & DVR for PC at the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to be held January 8-11, 2007 in Las Vegas, NV.

The OnAir GT from AutumnWave is a portable HDTV receiver that connects to a PC via USB port, offering a unique and cost effective solution for watching and recording HDTV and standard broadcasts while on-the-go! The GT will be demonstrated at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) South Hall 3, in the Wynit Inc Booth # 30359.

The OnAir GT has been selected as one of the products featured in the “Last Gadget Standing” competition (Yahoo! Inc.), the winner of this competition to be decided during 2007 CES. The GT has also recently been named as one of “Dave’s Top Ten” on the nationally-syndicated “Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline” show and was named as one of the best pieces of hardware for 2006 in the “Computer Corner: Best of 2006″ by Walt Zwirko at WFAA-TV in Dallas TX.

Just about anyone can transform their laptop or desktop PC into a high-definition TV and digital video recorder with the OnAir GT from AutumnWave. Most PCs, including those received as a gift for the holidays, already meet the requirements necessary to watch and record stunning HD content. Imagine HDTV on-the-go!

The versatile OnAir GT enables consumers to receive free wireless over-the-air broadcasts or to connect to their cable TV outlet to experience high definition television on their PC. Without the expense of a digital video recorder subscription, users can pause, record and playback their favorite TV shows, providing unparalleled convenience to those who would otherwise miss their favorite television programming. With the OnAir GT, users can access television wherever a usable broadcast signal exists, like in their dorm room, studio apartment or office – all without spending the thousands of dollars generally associated with buying a high-quality HDTV. Additionally, gamers can plug in their console units and play their video games anywhere they have access to a PC.

“The OnAir GT from AutumnWave is a perfect choice for the business traveler, dorm student, or person who wants to enjoy HDTV while on-the-go,” said Patrick Castellani, President & COO of AutumnWave.
