ATI Radeon AIW: Requires a TV and/or VCR?

[ANTant]

Hi. Does this AIW require a TV or a VCR in order to watch TV? With my
old GeForce4 Ti4200 (VIVO), I had to hook up to the VCR since my old
TV did not have a TV out to the video card. Of course, the video quality
is worse via VCR. Does ATI AIW cards come with a TV tuner or something
that doesn't require a TV or a VCR?

Thank you in advance.

the card has a tuner AND composit/svid in
But then that would be ALL over the ATI site and about a million venders pages.

Hi,

the AIW cards have an integrated tv-tuner.

You need nothing but an antenna or a cable.

Yes, the AIW has its own TV tuner on-board.

It has an ANALOG off-air or cable tuner. It will not be able to receive
"digital" cable channels, satellite or HDTV.
