Hello everyone,

I have 3 questions:

What is the advantage of having one of those video cards with TV Tuner integrated (like ATI's All-In-Wonder) compared to having separate Video and TV Tuner cards?

Do separate cards use more CPU resources compared to an integrated card?

Is it worth to spend more money upgrading to an All-In-Wonder card compared to just buying the $60 TV Tuner, when I'm perfectly happy with my ATI Radeon 8500LE video card?

Thanks for the advice

The biggest advantage is you only use one slot! This can be important for systems that would have trouble configuring another card.

I have 4 unused PCI slots, so using an extra slot for the TV Tuner is not a problem.
