Summary: An excellent card -- a flaky chipset...
Review: I had this card for about 2 weeks and the video performance was great. It has good Linux support from the gatos project and works for out of the box installs of Red Hat 7.3 and SUSE 8.0. Unfortunately, because of a bug in the i2c chipset the tv-input in the 7500 model doesn't work reliably. I would recommend the ATI 8500DV instead (also available from Amazon for not that much more).

Summary: Stay away from this card
Review: I ordered this card as a replacement for my AIW Rage 128 which was working fairly well but showing it's age. I read various bad reviews for other ATI AIW cards but I decided to go ahead as I consider myself an expert user and would not be dealing with the DV ports that are present in the AIW 8500DV. What a mistake. ATI's drivers that come in the retail box are nearly always junk and these are no exceptions. The intall process is very tricky as well in that you must remove all drivers, files, etc associated with your previous card BEFORE installing the drivers. The problem is that ATI does not document this process well in the manual. The install crashed my XP system from the beginning. I then booted to safe mode, removed all current drivers, etc. Then rebooted again and decided to work in VGA mode to update to the latest drivers. Once I had those drivers installed, problems were still present. The system will run for a few minutes but the lock and reboot. I confirmed with Microsoft tech support that this is a know issue regarding the Radeon chip. I have gone back and forth with ATI tech support including making various adjustments to AGP BIOS settings, flashing the BIOS,installing the latest chipset drivers, etc, but still nothing. Just as an FYI, I have a gigabyte motherboard with the VIA KT333 chipset with an AMD XP processor. Hopefully it will save you some grief if you have a similar system. Why can't ATI get it together?! It would be so nice to buy something that actually does what it says it does, and warn of its incompatibility with certain systems. Have to go return this piece of junk now.

Summary: Tuner doesn't work well after 1 yr.
Review: I purchased aiw 7500 aprox. 1yr. ago. I thought it was a decent card when I bought it at that point would have given it a 4star rating. Within three months the card started freezing my machine while using DVR. Then more reciently the video with the tuner started flashing bright than dark. It happens all the time making the tuner unusable. I have found no resolution to my problems from ati. I'm not angry just unsatisfied.

Summary: Great big bang for your buck
Review: I spent a full day researching which tv capture card I was going to get and decided on the all in wonder radeon 7500. I'm glad I did. The installation was smooth. Although it took a while to figure out how to set up to get audio. I have 4 surround sound speakers and an amplifier. When viewing TV, I finally did get sound, but it wasn't capturing the audio when I recorded. Just remember that the to plug the adapter into the "line out" connection to the sound card. Make sure that the "installation wizard" reflects that it is capturing to "line out" also. This card comes with everything. All the cables for S-video, composite video, and audio cables. But the best thing it comes with is the radio frequency remote control. This baby does everything your universal remote can do. And since it's radio frequency and not infra red, you can virtually use it anywhere in your house. The package includes an interactive TV guide that you can program to when and what you want to record, crossword puzzles, and Video Studio 6 (which I have not used yet). I have read other reviews on this product and most people will have difficulty with the installation. When I installed the card, I went to ATI.com to update the drivers. When I did, everything went to hell, so I did a system restore to get me back before I installed. I'll keep the drivers that came with the disk, thank you. This All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 just blows my mind!! I think its about the best $130 I ever spent. I recommend the All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500 because it gives so much for so little. UPDATE: 1/16/04 Must reinstall every few months. Software is buggy.

Summary: DONT BUY IT.
Review: Ok, First of all, I have only 22 days using this device and Im sick of it. Software:
The package comes with the 7.5 version of the Multimedia Center, if you have WindowsXP dont even try to watch DVD with the DVD player that comes with that version... Tha machine will always freeze. Also happens with the file player and eve worse with the TV Capture. Hardware:
Graphics Card was much better than my Nvidia GForce 2 MX/200.
A lot faster, the Cable TV looks very poor but still you could watch your favorite programs, but still poor. BIG REMOTE CONTROL ISSUE!!!!!!!
The remote receiver [is bad]!!! I dont know why but one day it just stop working and thats not all, my USB Ports doesnt work anymore. My Microsoft Optical USB Mouse is useless now. The only thing that works is my MP3 Jukebox and My Camera, thats it. I could not plug any other device in it. I tried several times to plug the USB remote freq. receiver and then I started to smell like "burned circuit". Yeap, that was all for my excellent remote control... Right now Im trying to get the people at ATI to help and still no response. Please do not buy this item. Try to find something else in the market... Im going back to my nvidia card.

Summary: I hate this card
Review: Prior to installing this card, I was patting myself on the back for how few times my machine had crashed. Since installing this card, the same machine has crashed maybe twenty times in about as many days. This is with the newest drivers from ATI. Additionally, it seems to cause some weird distortions when using the DVI connector. For example, when I have certain windows maximized I get strange horizontal, digital-looking static lines coming from the left side of my screen. This did not happen with a different card (also from ATI incidentally). I dont see why other people had difficulties installing this card. At least it installed very easily. Though to update the drivers, there are at least five different files you must download from the ATI website for a total of about thirty megabytes. I have returned my card and will wait for the Radeon 9500 Pro which should be out in a few weeks. If I decide that I really want to do video editing at some point, I will just buy a discrete video capture card.

Summary: This card is very useful
Review: this card can play all the 3d games you want play unreal tournment 2003 at high resolution and it was smooth. Also the remote is cool. But if you want to buy it it sells for less at newegg.com.
