Is it possible to connect LCD and CRT at one time to the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 7500/8500 and
work on the CRT while watching television on the LCD???

The ATI's website describes this thing very strangely and I got the feeling that you could combine
only output on one CRT/LCD with TV out and not output on two CRT's or CRT and LCD.

Do you have any experience with this please?

I don't have a AIW radeon, but R8500 works with 1 CRT and 1 LCD. I'm not sure about the watching tv bit as i've never seen it before, but if its a bit like a standard media player proggy then there should be no problems.

Not too many people with ATI around here, better to check out www.rage3d.com for lots of ati ppls..

Not possible, AIW cards are "dual display" not "dual head" cards, they support 1 CRT OR DFP AND 1 TV OR VCR only.

I have an AIW card and this gentleman is quite right.

Also the TV out will only "mirror" your primary display so you cannot use it for a secondary either.
