All-in-What Board [Posted on 2007-01-10]
Mediocrity has a new face. Video performance is so-so. I had occasional problems with a slow refresh rate, with a very low demand for graphics, that shouldn't happen. TV reception isn't even on the map for 1 star quality. It looked like a Denver snowstorm. When I contacted ATI, they suggested a booster, which I purchased; $30 down the tube. To add insult to injury, I tried to use it in a new system and got a video error. Don't waste your money.
All-In-Wonder NO TV [Posted on 2007-01-18]
I purchased this card with a new system. Had some difficulty installing the drivers from the CD, so I installed from the updated drivers on the ATI site. This went OK, but the TV cannot receive a signal, nothing but snow. I confirmed that my CATV feed is fine as a TV works perfectly with it. Nothing works with the card, not an external antenna, CATV or rabbit ears.
I called tech support and spent a lot of time with them checking connections, the drivers etc.
They told me the problem COULD BE with the motherboard, so their solution is to exchange the MB for a new one to see if the AIW card works with a new MB. Sure, I am supposed to rip apart the entire system cause their card doesn't do what it is supposed to.
Everything else in the multimedia works fine.
I have had several ATI AIW cards because I like their features, but getting them to work is a headache and ATI tech support is not the greatest.

ATI All in wonder 2006 better [Posted on 2007-05-29]
I bought one last year and was pretty happy. Cable reception above ch59 was not possible. Some channels were very snowy, others had inteference bars. I just did an update to the newest drrivers and catalyst control center and all channels are now available and the crappy ones are way way better. (update package is 4/2007 I think) Don't forget to uninstall the old ones first and restart lots of times. (I had to install .NET also)

Do not waste your money [Posted on 2007-08-29]
I bought this graphics card in October 2006. I spent two weeks trying to get the software (drivers and MMC) installed correctly with the latest version. Someone else posted a review stating that it is easier to remove a virus than their software. I totally agree. I had to reformat my hard drive twice to fully remove their software and get it to install properly. Recently, MMC stopped working and said that a new driver was available and must be installed. I am now going through the same process as last year and can't remove the previous version of the software. ATI's tech support is terrible. They provide quick but useless responses.
