TV Wonder generates an inordinate amount of complaints..no doubt well deserved. MMC itself is an excellent software suite however, nobody elses inhouse software even comes close..but it doesn't play well with TV Wonder and really never has. Hopefully, since this TV Wonder shares the same VIVO chip as AIW cards (finally!) driver support should be greatly improved and on par with AIW's multimedia features...big difference. Almost embarrassing to bear the TV Wonder moniker.

As long as I have to disable monitors two and three every time I want to watch TV on my 98AIW, MMC will always be worthless to me....
