Radeon 9700 Pro to.....?

[williams22]

Hello, I curently have a Radeon 9700 Pro. I bought this card because the card that came with my system would freeze playing certain games, so I decided to buy the best card out at the time. I am now thinking of selling this card and getting a card capable of hooking up cable television to (an All-In-Wonder does this correct?). If I could I would like to save a little money here. Can Someone give me a reccommendation on which card might be right for me? I don't play games too often, but I would like a good card. I am hoping to have my computer act as a TV. Also having a remote for it wouldn't be too bad either.

You should look into hauppage gear rather than getting rid of that card. They have good PCI tuners.

Could you explain what that is? Sorry im a little lost. Also, what do I need to run cable television on my system.

You DONT need to ditch the Radeon. Doing so is a collosal waste of money. Do like what prex said and get a PCI Tuner/Video capture card. AIW 9700 are quite expensive.

Do what they said
Why? Because picking up hte AIW would mean spending much more money, it costs more than a Radeon 9800 Pro! Besides, when the AIW becomes obsolete, you can't take the TV Tuner with you, whereas if you have it on a PCI slot, you cna take it with you when you get a new video card. Newegg sells a LeadTek FM Tuner/TV Tuner for $53.
