I've heard good things about the ATI TV wonder.
Also, you might want to consider building your comp with a ATI All-In-Wonder.

yea, that's what i recommend. get an ATI All In Wonder. they have the Radeon All In Wonder, the All In Wonder Radeon 7500, and the ATI All In Wonder Radeon 8500DV. one of them should be good for you.

I'm putting together a new sytstem and my current system has a triple monitor set up that includes an All In Wonder 128 PCI card with varying results. I want to multimonitor with my new system. I wish to use, if possible, only two vid cards for the triple monitor setup this time (hence the dual head card) in order to free up a PCI slot for other use.

I would sugest using the All In Wonder series card for every day computing and tv tuning but if you plan on doing any kind of power computing I would sugest a different main card and get the ATI TV wonder instead (for tv tuning capabilities).

For my new system I want,
I plan on using Windows XP:
AMD Athlon XP 1700 CPU
MSI 6380 KT266A RAID MOBO
512 DDR PC 2100 RAM
GP3 TI 200 64 MB VID CARD AGP
G450 Dual head PCI VID CARD
ATI tv Wonder PCI
WESTERN 60 GB 7200 HD
LITE-ON 24X CD-RW
