Not a TV wonder VE, thats for sure

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am looking for basic home use. Waching TV and recording and edeting programs. Quality is a factor.
Thanks

I used to have that tuner before I upgraded to an HDTV tuner, and I had no problems with it.

I have to disagree with the above poster, I have 2 ATI AIW's and love them both.

Once you get it set up and follow the suggestions at digitalfaq.com you will be happy.

Granted, some cards are not as good as others in the ATI line, but my 9200 AIW works just as good as my 9700 AIW pro when it comes to recording tv. Once I transfer to DVD, it looks just as good as if I recorded it on my Pioneer set top recorder.

I'm kinda new at this. What kind of video quality will I get with this? Also what are some of the features that I can look for when picking a card?
