Summary: Died with upgrade
Review: This card worked just fine under Win98. Upon upgrading to XP it died even though ATI supposedly has working drivers for it. It seems that their tech support knows this will flop because you have to bombard them with emails just to get one generic response of "well, you must be installing the drivers incorrectly sir." If this is their standard tech support, I won't be buying ATI again.

Summary: I'm sorry to say I can't recommend
Review: This product has some great claims. I was really excited to get it in the mail. But after trying it out on 2 separate computers, including one that was brand new with all new drivers and a fresh load of XP the bottom line is that this ATI TV Wonder VE is a piece of junk.The main problem involves frequent lock-ups while in capture mode. This happened on both machines. It doesn't recognize that DirectX 9 is installed, it doesn't recognize it's own capture drivers from the ATI site (yes I checked to make sure I was loading the right drivers that go with this card.) Normally I'm a fan of ATI's stuff - and some of their display adapters have been great. But as for the TV Wonder VE - I recommend that you pass it up and buy from another vendor. It will save you a lot of headache.

Summary: im watching TV on my desktop! woo hoo!
Review: yes the software isnt top notch. but for the price, this card is a great value. like stated in previous posts, it uses almost no system resources. the tv guide listings thing has the wrong channel lineup for my area, and im in los angeles! i just use yahoo! tv listings. and even tho 125 channels are possible, i still only get about 30. i just wanted to get this to watch local news without having to leave my AIM conversations anyway. setup/install was a breeze. make sure u have direct x 9! lots of features i havent even gotten to yet. if you want to watch tv on your compm get this card!
