>> My only regret was that I didn't listen to my inner voice that said -- Don't get an ATI All In Wonder Pro for watching TV. Get a Hauppauge TVIVO instead, or get a standard sort of sound card for sound.
>I'm watching TV just fine with an ATI AIW Rage 128 Pro, FreeBSD
4-stable, and XFree86-4.3.x.  Granted, I'm not capturing, but to view
TV I installed the 'stuff' from http://gatos.sourceforge.net and
xawtv.  Full screen, all of the expected functions (except capture)
work well.  Try it ;)

I did try it, it doesn't support my card. I have an AIW 9800 Pro and it uses the 350 Theater Chip. As far as I can tell it's still not supported.

All that might have changed.

>> I didn't do the research. But there's enough hardware and such to make one happy if they do the research.  But this is being pointed out to by other posters.

well use what you've got.
