ATI TV Wonder

Pros: none
Cons: Doesn't work

Quite simply, this card does not work well under Windows 2000, even with the latest drivers.

Most of the time, the TV player crashes while switching stations or while using the GUI. Hell, it crashes by itself after several minutes of watching...

Pros: TV on Demand
Cons: Poor Drivers

I have the USB version of this wonder! My system is as follows: PII 450, 100mhz bus, 320 meg, 10 gig 7200 RPM HDD, 32 meg TNT card, Win ME and Win 2k pro. Not the fastest machine but well within the system requirements.
What I love about it:
...

Pros: It's TV, Easy to use, Can easily capture movie from VCR, clear picture
Cons: Hard to set-up, no drivers available, bad editor

The ATI TV Wonder, a wonderful blend of computers and TV, but is it really worth it? I'll start with Pro's. This is TV right on your desktop. There is nothing better than that, except maybe free cable. The TV quality on this is excellent. You can watch...

Pros: Good advertisement, everything in one card.
Cons: not for non branded pc

If you just want a capture tv card on your pc and your pc is not any famous brand. Don't try to attempt to install this ATI TV card.

Installation

I guess I can only start by saying. It is very hard to install. The...

Pros: Great video quality. VCR+ feature.
Cons: Requires internal installation

I originally bought the USB version of this card. But, being connected to the computer through the USB port, it did not have enough bandwidth for high quality video (plus the video and audio would get out of sync).
So I decided to trade it in for...

Pros: TV on the computer, MPEG Capture, Excellent Price
Cons: Limited Compatibility, No Mpeg-2, Software could be better

The ATI TV Wonder is a PCI Add-on card for Windows 95 and 98. (It does not work with Windows 2000, an unfortunate fact I discovered after purchasing it.) It enables users to watch a television signal on their PCs, either enclosed within a window or...

Pros: Many neat features,online program guide
Cons: Tricky installation, no sound

I have long envied my wife's ability to bring up TV on her Mac. Being a Windows user with a relatively new, powerful system, I looked forward to my TV Wonder USB tuner.

From a hardware point of view, installation was simple: I just had to...

Pros: I haven't had any pros yet
Cons: The software, the installation, the card, the quality, the directions??

First card had no sound but installed fine and picture was good although it only got basic channels (none of the premium channels that I get on my regular TV)????

After I had major problems with the installation I bought a new sound card...

Pros: EXCELENT SOFTWARE BUNDLE,WINDOWS ME COMPATIBLE,EASY INSTALL,EXCELLENT VCR RECORDING QUALITY.
Cons: PRODUCES ALOT OF HEAT (BETTER HAVE FANS!!),VERY PICKY ON CONFIGURATION WITH CERTAIN VIDEO CARDS.

GREAT LITTLE CARD IF YOUR LOOKING TO HAVE TV TUNING CAPABILITES ON A SYSTEM THAT ALREADY HAS A GREAT VIDEO CARD
AND ARE NOT LOOKING TO BUY ALL-IN-WONDER CARD. ONE MAJOR
ISSUE IS HEAT...BE PREPARED WITH CASE FANS...AND DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT...

Pros: Affordable Price
Cons: Poor Drivers and Software Horrible Tech Support

I purchased this product with the hope of being able to watch TV on my computer. I run Windows 2000 on my computer and use a Matrox Millennium G400 graphics card. Matrox still does not have a final version of the drivers for Windows 2000 and I was forced...

Pros: Easy to install, very simple software, LOADED with features.
Cons: Does not work with windows XP!

Being the computer gadget man that I am, my eyes began to fix upon these so-called "TV-IN" cards for your computer. The thought of watching TV on my computer sounded like the ultimate way to become lazy. If I got this card I wouldn't have to reach up...

Pros: Cheap price. Works good with other software.
Cons: ATI software and tech support.

Well I think you are aware of the problem that you are having with ATI TV wonder pci and Windows XP. The only thing that I got to say is that you (ATI) ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Ashamed that you make as many products you do and having the poor...

Pros: Works in Linux
Cons: comes with "windows" only software

I switched my workstation over to linux and have been looking for a TV card for some time. I was talking to a friend of mine who also uses Linux and he said he was using this card with no problems. So I bought it and have it installed and working.
...

Pros: Great picture when it does work.
Cons: OS incompatibility

This card worked fine under Windows 98SE and windows 2000.
It does not work under Windows XP Prof and tech support from ATI is non existant.... It is a pain to install and the drivers don't install properly under Windows 98SE and Windows 2000, but once you figure out how to do manually, it works, just not under windows XP even with the drivers, which are the same drivers as windows 2000.
