GeForce 2 /w Video In?

Wondering, are there any gf2 cards with video in that can compete with the Radeon DDR 64 VIVO in terms of price (and video quality, haven't seen a TV-IN card that compares to the rage theatre chip)? I really like RADEON's but I am a Win2K user and radeon's are noticably slower (though i've never seen the 40% dip that anand did on some benchmarks, sheesh). Also, if WinXP and Win2K drivers arn't compatible, well, is there any gaurentee ATI won't drop the ball there?

Elsa makes a VIVO module for GeForce 2 GTS cards that have the header. My Visiontek GeForce 2 GTS has it, but I currently have no need for video out. I use a seperate TV capture card for video in.

Here's their link:

I am wondering, what video in card are you using? I'm using a Pinnacle PCTV Lite, but the picture quality is absolutely horrible compared to rage theatre.

I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV model #404. I use it for TV viewing, still capture and video grabs. The quality is pretty good when paired up with my GeForce 2 GTS. I heard the Pinnacle TV cards are pretty bad.
 
Asus cards has TV-in function, and came with a digital VCR recording utility.. not too bad. got a friend who use that to watch TV, Video, and play PSX games on it.
