I have a TV WOnder VE (just like the TV Wonder, but no S-video in, just coax-in and RCA-in) These TV Cards are usually based on the BT878 chipset (Used by ATI, Hiipauge <sp>, WinTVgo, etc...) Dump what ever software you get (especially if you bought the ATI card!!!) with your TV card and use the following (all free): 1. I use the opensource driver : http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/links.html 2. For watching TV, I use DScaler (Amazing Quality - super de-interlacer and Time shifting): http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net/ 3. You can use your tv card for analogue video capture!!! I use VirtualDub( And the best part is, your BTXXX based TV card ignores macrovision signals!!! Makes is handy for transfering your VHS collection to VCD/SVCD/KVCD): http://www.virtualdub.org/ If you really feel like paying for TV watching software, I've found PowerVCR to be the best of the lot. A nice little bonus is it has a built-in Mpeg1/2 encoder, so you can master straight to VCD or DVD recordable if you wish.... 98 GL sport (V6 MTX) The Durable Duratec? - (DMD, Metal impeller WaterPump, Synth & Stinky in the tranny)

Unless you dont ever upgrade to direct x 9, its too slow. Bad support for ati cards in direct x9. if you get the 9500, i heard its much better. 95 SES Sold 99 SE Sport Sold 99 SVT T-Red Tan Interior. K&N, Magnecors, 19' Theorys, And some audio stuff.

If you are looking for a monitor than can do a dual-display you should look into the ATI All-In-Wonder series (as menitoned above) HTH, Pete "Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.

ASUS just put out another one. I would look into it. ASUS makes good ones for decent money. Later, -Andy Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Now on to the thread. You really can't go wrong with any of the TV cards out right now. I second the ASUS one as well. Now I hate America? That is a new one to me.
