Summary: Highly misunderstood product
Review: There are a lot of people who have had problems with this card. The key is to buy an ATI video card to pair with this TV card. This card will not work with many Matrox products (G200, G100, Mystique 220), but seems to like 3dfx cards (Voodoo3 and Velocity) as well as older S3 cards and a few newer ones (look over their recommended cards once more). Diamond TNT-based card owners seem to have a 50/50 chance with this card. And if you have any other video card--forget it! Once you get your video card right, there isn't a better tuner under $100. The software that originally came with my TV Wonder was a bit buggy. The new version 2.0 is more stable. If you meet the requirements, this card's for you--especially if you already own a ATI video card.

Summary: Look elsewhere
Review: There really isn't much to say except that it didn't work. This was my second tv tuner card for my computer and was such a disappoint. I have already replaced it with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR.

Summary: Ugh-- Just wait for nVidia Personal Cinema
Review: This card may be fine for just watching TV on your PC, but for video capturing, the quality is horrible. You cannot capture above 240 pixels height-wise, and this severely limits the card in my opinion. I was expecting 480x480 capture ability (Which is present in their much much older product, the ATi All-In-Wonder.. over 4 years old!), but did not find any. Add on to that the fact that the MPEG1/MPEG2 encoding is done through software (not hardware), and horribly at that.. the card just isn't worth the price tag.
Perhaps the only good part about this product was that the install went smoothly. Well, kind of. The package doesn't contain software for Windows 2000. You have to go to ATi's website and download beta software/drivers. It takes about 3 reboots to get the card installed completely in Windows 2000. No biggie.
If you want a decent capture card, either get an ATi All-In-Wonder Radeon, or wait for nVidia's new "Personal Cinema" to come out (supports everything the AIW does, plus it has a remote, and you can view both TV/VGA at the same time!) I think I'll just save up my money and get a Sony DV <-> Analog converter box. Now that's quality.

Summary: a great buy
Review: this pci card has great picture quality (even with my 8mb video card). The sound is crisp and the software is very good. it is overloadig features. My personal favorite is that you can minimize it and it automatically sets itself as your desktop and you icons are still clear. Setup is a breeze, and you only have to connect two cables (audio and cable/antenna line). It has all th ports of a vcr (video ports for a video game and an s-video port for DVDs.) All in all, it is a great product and much cheaper than 17" TV.

Summary: More like the TV Blunder
Review: This was a good starter card for watching television through my computer. It worked well with Windows 98, but if you were thinking of using it with any operating system released this century, you'd find yourself out of luck. Initially, with 98, I thought very highly of the TV Wonder. However, upon upgrading to Windows 2000, I had to download extra drivers from ATI which ended up locking up the computer after watching TV for more than a few minutes. After that, I thought XP would handle it a little better. Unfortunately, it was worse. I couldn't find any software support from ATI that would co-exist with Windows XP, and have yet to.In retrospect, I probably should have gone with the TV Wonder VE which is compatible with Windows XP after downloading an updated driver from ATI's site.

Review: Well I bought this unit on a saturday afternoon at 12:30pm. I didn't get it up and running (properly) until about 4:30pm. That aside, i'm very impressed with this unit. Especially the GuidePlus software that comes with the card. I knew that I would not get exceptional, DVD quality resolution at the full screen mode, but I am happy with what I am seeing on my 19inch monitor. More so, I like the blended window mode that allows you to see the tv window without it being an actual "window." All-in-all exactly what I wanted for my computer. The GuidePlus software is a gem! It located my region with my specific channels. I like the fact that I can find all Simpson shows in the next week, set them to be recorded, etc. More so, all shows/sports are sorted in categories. I can even search for shows by actors... for my local stations. AWESOME! It's like satellite, 20x better. Recommendations: If you are going to use this device in an XP machine, you should visit this address after installing all the software that comes in the box...It covers all the XP problems and allowed me to get this beauty running properly. Also, when you download the new multimedia center/video driver, you get the option to record in Windows Media Format (*.wmv) which is an excellent compression method that saves mass storage compared to the traditional MPEG and AVI format. Now all I need is the All-In-Wonder remote.

Summary: Never buy a PCI TV Card! ATI TV cards are great though.
Review: What happens, is that PCI TV cards clog up your PCI bus bandwidth, slowing down the computer while the viewer is on, especilly on a older computer with a PCI / Non-AGP video card. You are also not able to have the TV viewer on while playing games with either PCI or AGP video card. If a scheduled show brings up the TV while you are playing a game, the game, ATI player (most common), both, or the whole computer will crash! This doesn't get a 1 rating, because of the great software features. Still and motion video capture is awesome. The scheduler is great, though useless to gamers with this particlular card (see above). ATI TV cards are better than the other TV cards out there when it comes to the features. It is better than microsoft webtv too built into windows 98 also. Just get ATI-TV with the AMC ribbon cable connector if you have an older computer (ATI Pro Turbo, Expression, RageII+ or older video card), or the new ATI All-In Wonder (Radeon is newest) if you have a newer one. Just don't get this card (ATI-TV-Wonder) or any other PCI bus TV Card. If you have a non-ATI video card, then you are stuck with this card, as it is compatible with non-ATI cards, but ATI-TV and the All-InWonder require ATI Graphics. But in any case, there is no integrated solution for gaming as of yet (ATI video cards are not good enough for serious 3D gaming) unless you can get a multi-video card system running.
