How about just dropping the "All-In-Wonder" series and let a video card be a
video card and a TV tuner be a TV tuner?

I do not understand why someone would want to put a TV tuner, which you may
upgrade every 5+ years, onto a video card that you may keep for a year. BIG
waste of money, and makes it harder for the maker to squeeze all the extras
onto a single card.

ATI has a hard enough time just trying to write drivers!

This seems like a reasonable update. I doubt any R420 announcement will be
made tho.

Means you don't have to use up a slot with the tuner and allows it to be
more tightly integrated. And how much do you think a tuner costs these
days anyway?

I'd like to see a AIW9600XT with at least one DVI connector (or two) on
that dongle they use now.
