Default All-in-Wonder or Separate TV Tuner?

I currently have a WinTV Go TV tuner and I'm thinking if it would be better to :

1. Buy an All-in-Wonder and ship the WinTV to the parents....
2. Stick with the WinTV and buy a Radeon instead...
edit: both are 9700 series....

I would buy the Radeon 9700 Pro or 9800 Pro, and continue to use your current tuner card.

The wintv product line by huappage is totally awsome!

I would keep it and just go with a 9700 pro card. Save the extra bucks and upgrade to a 9800pro?

All in wonder is too expensive.

The wintv-go application is 2x better than the ati ones.
Hauppage makes tuner cards professionally and have series worth a lot. Plus, a card with too much features lowers its quality over time.

And it is cheaper. Unless he is using a small board with a very limited amount of pci slots, I would not go the all in wonder.

Dude trust me, it is better.
They are one of the best in tuner based cards.
Some series sell for thousands of dollars for professional use.

while we are on the topic dose anyone make a PCI tuner card that has two tuners? like in a TiVo so you can watch and record at the same time.
