Hexus has reviewed the AIW X800GT Link

Official MCE 2005 support and digital tuning for DVB-T, if the pricing is decent, it will make a nice solution for our friends across the pond. looks like an X800 XL version should appear as well.

The conclusions for All-In-Wonder reviews are generally positive and this one is no exception. The addition of DVB-T to the mix of good capture quality, good analogue TV tuning quality decent software and good 3D performance enhances the product massively. DVB-T is taking off in Europe and the PCI Express All-In-Wonder range is the first to bring the feature paired on the same board as a competent 3D accelerator.

Yep driverheaven basically came to the same conclusions. But I don't watch much tv.

Pff, seperate tuner is better.
Nice though that they have it on the cards, that was one of the reason si'd have never bought an AIW card before now.

I use both, and they both have their strongpoints, MMC really just lacks a decent EPG and background recording.
