Games + TV

I'm really tempted to buy a Geforce3 TI200 card for the obvious gaming reasons. Is there a card with this chip that also has a TV-in jack or will i need to buy a PCI card only to watch TV? if so any recommendations?

TV-In? Haven't seen one of those, seen plenty with TV-Out, for TV-In I think you might need to geta seperate card(probbably even be better tahn GF3 Ti200). If you really care about TV, try an AIW Radeon.

TV IN

Hey Logan
I would highly reccomend getting the allinwonder Radeon by ATI...
If your wanting to watch TV and also gaming this is your best choice. They just came out with a remote control that comes with the package. If you can hold off a month or two the price will go down....

Best

For ~$90.00 you can get a USB Edition ATI TV-Wonder. It's simply made just for a cable TV-In connection and you don't even need a PCI slot to install it.

Just hook up the USB lead, hook up your coaxial and enjoy up to 125 channels with a free program guide.

Have a great week.
