ATI HDTV Wonder Replacement Options

[CPL Cache]

Is there a better PC HDTV card supported by Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005?

I've had it with the HDTV wonder I got as a gift! Same story as always with ATI: Good Hardware, Bad Software and Horrible Driver support.

I've always heard DVICO's FusionHDTV3 is a good choice. It's software based, so you need a good system to use it on. I know it works in XP, so I'd assume it would work in MCE 2005, but I don't know for sure.

There are others like MyHD and WinTV-HD, but I haven't heard much about them. I've never liked Hauppauge's software for their WinTV cards, but they make good cards.

The MyHD cards (MDP-130 is the newest one, I have three of the MDP-120's) are fantastic but I don't know if they are supported by Windows Media Center Edition.

I use Meedio (http://www.meedio.com) as my front end on top of Windows XP and love it.
