Which TV card with Radeon?

[drewdogg808]

I just got a Radeon 32 mb DDR, and now i really want to get a tv card. I know i should have just gotten the AIW Radeon, but I don't think I can return my Radeon since i didn't buy it from a retail store. I was thinking about the ATI TV wonder, but i read that there is some compatibility problems with the Radeon. Anyone have any suggestions or commments? Does anyone have a TV card they recommend? Thanks.

I like the Hauppauge card..you can even get FM stereo with certain models

The new Voodoo TV card is supposed to be pretty nice. I would get that if I ever wanted a TV card to go with my Radeon 32mb. It's supposed to be out Oct. 17th but who knows w/ 3dfx

Yeah, there are some minor issues with the TV Wonder AND Radeon 64 MB, but I don't think there will be any for the 32 MB (I had the TV Wonder and the 64 MB and it worked okay after I fixed the problem). The problem was that the Video in software and the TV Wonder's TV software were conflicting, but since your 32 MB doesn't have VIVO, it probably won't matter.

That Voodoo TV card looks pretty cool....I like the fact that it has a FM tuner with it.

Voodoo tv looks nice(the 200 not 100) lots of features and it's cheap too

The Voodoo card does seem nice, but has anyone heard of a release date yet, or if its for sale anywhere?

Read above RacerX stated Oct.17th.....

At the bottom part of the press release (see my link above) it mentions Oct. 17th ...but when it actually hits the retail market is another thing altogether.

will this thing run mpeg from your camcorder??

VoodooTV 200 is a complete multimedia entertainment and recording center on a single add-in board. VoodooTV 200 features include a stereo TV signal, MPEG capture, digital VCR, .MP3 encoding and stereo FM radio reception.....looks like the all-in-wonder is in trouble.

This card will work with a Radeon does it hook up to the radeon somehow??

 

[Hawk]

If it has Video in it should be able to cable from camcorder to MPEG, and all the new TV cards (at least the ones I've seen) don't need any special cables or anything connecting it to the video card.

Well, tomarrow is the 17th, has anyone seen it listed for sale at any sites yet? I haven't found Onvia or Buy.com have it listed yet...

Someone post as soon as they see it available. It is very similar to the ATI Video Wonder that never saw the light of day. Bet they're regretting it now.

found this comprehensive review, think it came out on the 14th and says it was release that day but haven't found anyplace that's selling it.

This is what I've been told, The cards must have been sent to the distributors on the 14th because 3dfx has already sent them to the distributors, so we have to wait for them to send them to the retailers. Should be any day now... Someone please post if they find a shop that has them for sale and has them in stock.

FYI......Outpost.com is taking preorders on both the 100 and 200 VoodooTV.
Doesn't tell when though.

Well, just picked one up at CompUSA but it was full sug. retail of $99.99. Not a bargain but for a card with all these features it's not that bad but if you can wait until you can find one on sell, then do so. One thing I wish this card had, that it doesn't, is a Video out. Oh well, if someone see's it advertised for less at a B&M within 14 days then I can get the difference back.
