rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cybersweet - 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...

With the release of their new MMC 7.9 in April 2003, ATI has taken significant steps towards improving their software. I've bumped the rating from 2 to 4 stars for this reason.

ATI TV Wonder: OK for TV, bad for recording

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chinnook - Had problems right out of the box. The video card configuration does not match the documentation - instead of the S-video connector on the card, it is now on a cable with the A/V jacks. CD was for Windows 95/98 only - not XP. Downloaded the lasted driver...

ATI TV Wonder: Not for the weak of stomach

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author graffixboy - Sigh...another disappointment by ATI. What looked like a very promising card turned out to be nothing but headaches for me. It's a great card when it works, but be ready for some serious hair pulling when things go wrong. I've been working with this card...

ATI TV Wonder: great for video capture

Fri, 1 Feb 2002 17:56:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bt_richardward - 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...

ATI TV Wonder: Nice for the price as long as you are a "do-it-yourself" type.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author robhound - Recently I hit on the idea of adding a TV tuner/capture card to my PC with the goal of creating Video-CD (VCD and SCVD) disks to view on my family room DVD player. There are a number of TV programs that I enjoy watching and keep tapes of. So, I thought,...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author soloart98 - 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...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tbarlen - I decided to buy a TV card for my daughter's PC to allow her to watch TV in her room while saving space by not buying a separate TV. Well, that's what I intended to do. I saw the ATI TV Wonder VE card in the store for 49.99$ with a 10$ mail-in rebate. So...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author fourteecaliber - Just like everyone else, I love Epinions. I really like the reviews from other people about certain products. I read pretty good reviews about the Dell Dimensions 8100 series computer, so I ended up buying one (and I love it!). Well I decided to buy a TV...

ATI TV Wonder: Not for a non branded pc!!

Tue, 11 Sep 2001 09:59:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author stse - 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...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mark_ufl - As a college student who is trying to save space in the dorm, I thought that a TV tuner card would be a cheap and easy way to get TV in my room without having to buy a seperate unit. Although the TV-wonder doesn't match the quality of a regular TV, it...

ATI TV Wonder: A Sadist's delight.

Wed, 1 Aug 2001 17:11:41 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author stuckat1 - 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...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author doxiadis - 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...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Guru|DV - I bought this card to allow me to watch TV on my PC. Let's face it, watching TV on your computer is just neat. Unfortunately, simply watching TV is about as far as I got. Installation of this card turned out to be too much for me, and I'd like to...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author irule669 - I got this for my birthday a few months ago. After a few tries to get it in correctly, i finally got it working without a hitch. The installation was a little tedious, especially since the drivers took so long to extract from CD. When I got it into...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author egale - This is TV card number 3 for me. First I had a Hauppauge WinTV. Their software was good, picture was bad. I switched to a Pinnacle PCTV Pro. There picture was good but their software and technical support is horrible. I played with switching between the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Horizons832 - I was so excited when I got my new ATI TV Wonder card. I immediately took it out of the box and looked it over, then I decided to put it in my computer. The hardware installation was very easy, and the card was detected when I restarted my computer...

ATI TV Wonder: PC TV, The good, the bad, and the ugly

Sat, 10 Mar 2001 03:26:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author StratMan - 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...

Tue, 13 Feb 2001 21:16:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dj245 - I paid $44 for the Tv-wonder VE (value edition). Installation was simple, but there were things I had to figure out, like that I had to disable Norton Antivirus for the software to install, and what "composite video" really is. But I figured it out...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ArmofJustice - If you're like me, working your way through school, you're computer is often more important that your TV. You spend quite a bit more time with it at least. So after finding myself in a new apartment where I was unfortunate enough to be without a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jmtrumpet - When I owned an i486 system, I had purchased a Reveal TV-for-PC, at a significant cost. That card was worth hours of enjoyment. As time wore on the Reveal card did not work on any upgraded system. Time passed as it usually does, and the ATI TV-Wonder...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kadge - 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...
