ATI AIW

[Sxotty]

Does ATI have an AIW for the 9500? The 9700 is too expensive for me, and the 8500 umm sucks, well in my opinion it does not deliver what I need. Anyway I saw a radeon 9000 review on here, but I don't see anyone actually selling it here in the states. Anyway thanks.

Buy a 9500 Pro and a TV wonder add in card (they are cheap and offer the same funtionality)

$200 US for a AIW 9500 Pro, only diference is the tuner/capture uses one PCI slot

I truly appreciate your help.

I do not think I would get a remote with it, would I?
(Actually I could not care less about loosing a PCI slot)

I wish someone had a TV tuner card with a RF remote, other companiers have IR, but I dont really like IR remotes.

It is like a consipiracy, if only someone would sell a board that had AIW capabilities, and was $100.00 or less I would buy it simply to keep the capabilities throughout upgrades.

You can buy the remote separately for the TV Wonder. (I think it's $50 retail?)

Of course, building an wll-in-wonder with remote like this "al la carte" can get expensive...

Yep 50 bucks

Some TV tuner cards comes with a remote control, such as Leadtek TV2000 XP. They are cheaper than TV Wonder (without remote control!), but their quality may not be on par with TV Wonder, though.

Yeah thanks guys, anyway I realize that the other cards have remotes, but they are Infared, so not what I wanted.

However I had not realized that the ATI remote did not require a PCI card. Since it only needs a USB port that is pretty cool, and I dont even really need to get the TV wonder for awhile.
