What TV Tuner Card works well with the Kyro II?

[Bellweather]

Also, what is overlay, and is it supported by the Kyro II?

Overlay is....well, I'm not sure exactly, but it's what lets you see a video image over another image. IE your Dekstop. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...please. And yes the Kyro II DOES support it, and it's required to view TV stuff, BUT, you need the latest drivers for it because the others had a bug in them that made it not work just right.

I have a Kyro2 and I just finished watching 2 hours of TV with my TV-Wonder.

Overlay allows another video device (like a TV-Tuner or a DVD Decoder) to send data to the Video card and it just stores it in the frame buffer for display over writing (or overlaying if you like) what's there.

It's a requirement for devices that do video output that are not intgrated to your video card.

FWIW overlay support is also a requirement to get WHQL certification for your drivers from Microsoft, so it will be rare to see a video card without it in the Consumer PC market.

Any TV-Tuner should work fine.
