Is the ATI 9700 pro also a TV tuner card?

[Slogun]

This may be a dumb question, but I really am not sure if it is. It doesn't seem to be called an "all in wonder."
I see in the specs that it decodes DTV and HDTV, does that mean it functions as a TV tuner?

The normal 9700 Pro does not have a tuner built in, so no you cant watch tv on it. However, they do make a 9700 Pro All-In-Wonder version (for roughly $450) that does have the tv-tuner built in.

no it is not, but there is an AIW version of the 9700pro, which is the same card with tv tuner and some other nice features, and it also didnt receive the nice price drop the 9700 did if i remember correctly

nice timing

If you want those features get the LEADTEK WINFAST "DELUXE" TV2000XP and then the regular 9700 Pro, you save a ton of money.

Over what? an AIW 9700 pro is cheaper and better than that combination.

Last i checked a 9700Pro AIW was $449 or so.

9700Pro is now $299 + $54 for the tv tuner card = $353

The 9700 PRO AIW is $385 at Newegg.

Does the AIW come with a remote though?

Yes.

And a better remote given that it's radio frequency (works through walls, no direct line of sight), and the Leadtek is infared. Perfect for running your mp3 collection, etc.
