Does anyboy have this? to look at the pictures on the website it doesnt look
like it has coax in like the ATI cards..how can it play / change channels if
it doesnt have Coax/Antenna in? Also doesnt it seem kinda dumb to challenge
ATI if your not going to do it right?

You're absolutely right.




The Personal Cinema editions are for low end cards that don't support
ViVo because they lack an onboard video encoder.

I don't believe there is a similarly priced ATI All in Wonder available.



These cards were supposed to be used with media center PCs.

I forgot to mention...

in order to view TV with these cards you need an external tuner... as
there isn't one equipped with the card or video in adapter.
