    Well I know the entire HD lineup has excellent tv-out support, but I've heard nothing about tv tuners, remote wonder etc.

      Just wondering if there are going to be any more AIW cards from ATI/AMD?

      currently happy with my system.. this is the longest i haven't upgraded but since i have been gaming(any such term?) less. It is enough for my usage. XP3200+ and GF6800gs 512MB powering Dell 24"

      but i am looking to upgrade soon(tm) and liked the convenience of the AIW
      I just bought an AVerMedia PCIE TV tuner that supports analog and digital feeds from cable, OTA and QAM. I've heard it works with FIOS, though I am not sure how. It also has out of the box 64-bit Vista drivers. MCE doesn't support QAM (yet, but hopefully soon) so you need to download their free MC software to get those channels. Anyway, I m really happy with this tv tuner. Crap, just noticed that you probably don't have PCIE. Not sure if they make a PCI version or not.
      Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

          I remember some at my company talking about how the QAM's weren't encrypted yet and when he bought his digital tv tuner, he got every digital channel for free!

            That would be cool I get about 30 or so stations via QAM plus about 20 or so music stations.
