Summary: too many installation problems
Review: The idea of this card is terrific - get great video, watch TV on your computer, record TV shows just like Tivo. But despite the fact that I generally know my way around computers, I have not been able to get this card working after spending weeks trying various combinations of settings, driver updates, reinstallations, and BIOS updates. Every time I watch video on the PC, the system suddenly reboots, usually within a few minutes. Unfortunately, I am past the time period where I can return this card - for the money I paid, I should have bought a regular TV instead. I may try another TV tuner, but it will not be one made by ATI.

Summary: Serious about creating and editing video?
Review: Well this product is serious about it too! I have been into computer video creating and editing for many years, have tried many different products over the years. Until now video editing hardware has been either too expensive for the average Joe to afford or too junky to do the job properly. But the ATI ALL IN WONDER RADON 8500 does the job so good I still can't believe it. Excellent and fast rendering of edited video, no dropped frames anymore, does MPEG1 & MPEG2 beautifully and works great on Windows XP.
