    If you want a single card solution for monitor and TV tuner, you need to look at an ATi All-in-Wonder card; this is their branding for a graphics caard with built in tuner. The Radeon all in wonder 8500 DV has served me well for thje last 5 years and has more a/v inputs aond outputs than you can shake a stick at; certainly more than I've ever needed.

    no as TomJ says you can get one card - either the all in wonders or one that states it is VIVO

    and what you are talking about is converting to mpeg-2 which can be quite resource hungry in the conversion process. Its one of those things where you scrimp on £15 now and you'll kick yourself later.

    Just had a quick look on eBay (I know, cheapskate!).
    Is this any good?
    First one

    Just spotted this one as well.
    Second one


    Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a complete novice at this.

    the first one is only 4x agp so would give it a miss, the second - if it works, should be good and ok for older games as well (was a v good card in its day)
