I had a winfast tv2000xp and wasn't really satisfied with the picture quality. It looked much worse to me than my crappy 13" magnavox tv so I got rid of it.

I'm now looking at updating my aging GF2 GTS as saw the VIVO feature. So my question is... Does the video in suck or does it actually look good? I'd just use my VCR to change the channels.

I really want a tv tuner so I can use my monitor as my TV when I go away. So it's either VIVO graphics card, or one of those stand alone boxes you plug the monitor into. Unless tv tuner cards actaully look good now... ...

TIA :)

I have a Pinnacle TV in card and love it.. The GF4 cards won't come close to the quality of newer TV Cards.

I have a Pinnacle (couple months old) and the quality is good, but the software sucks hardcore. Imagine a 1 second delay changing channels.
