I'm currently running an ATI R8500 AIW in my Shuttle Mini-box and I mostly use it for watching TV when the GF has control over the Big TV in the living room. I was considering getting a Hardware TV card to replace it with, but is it really worth replacing the R8500AIW with one? I figure I could use my Parhalia in the Shuttle Box with it, just have to take off the mods I did to it.

Well part of the problem is that it runs like a dog at time if I'm doing intestive stuff like DL stuff off newsgroups and stuff. I usally surf and watch TV at the same time...so it slows the system down quite a bit and would think a hardware decoder would require less resourcesWhy is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

I have an avermedia and it works ok with dscaler most of the time. I don't know how much benefit you'll get from the TV card though, the allin wonder has hardware doing the decoding doesn't it? When doing intensive stuff I notice that the picture goes jittery. I only have a 700 MHz Duron though.[size=1]D3/\/7YCR4CK3R

This is the 10-bit holy grail:
You can pick it up for about $80 at Newegg with free shipping. It'll have Dscaler support soon, once the new Connexant CX23880 chip is included. So far the drivers are solid, and the PowerVCRII software is solid.
Blows away my old Hauppauge WinTV in video and driver quality.
