    My advice: DON'T BUY THE HDTV WONDER FROM ATI

    I have been fighting with this thing for many months now. Installed a new TERK antenna on top of my house, pointed it 305 degrees and the HDTV Blunder only occasionally works. Many dropouts, usually for minutes at a time. Some channels have squares on the screen, others show "NO SIGNAL".

    Just to make sure my antenna was OK, I borrowed a Samsung SIR T151 from a friend, hooked it to my projector and surroundsound, and watched an entire evening with zero dropouts. All 6 local stations were perfect. I am only 8 miles from the transmission tower complex.

    I have a problem posted to ATI's 'new improved' problem reporting system, and it has been "work in progress" now for 3 weeks. Please don't waste your time and money with these people.

    Otherwise I LOVE MCE 2005!!

    My system:

    MCE 2005
    msi 875P Neo motherboard
    2.6ghz Pentium
    512 MB memory

    RADEON 9800 PRO graphics
    2 - 120 GB SATA disks

    Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 250
    ATI HDTV Wonder (for sale cheap)

    Yamaha HTR-5740 surround Sound
    Klipsch surround speakers
    Panasonic AE-700 projector
    GOO Systems - 9 foot projection screen (If you have a projector try this stuff - it is GREAT)

    A great new budget card that just came out is the Leadtek A6200 TDH. It's only $78 from newegg but they sold out real quick and they're on backorder. The only real difference between this card and the other 6200 cards that are about $50-$70 more is it has a 64bit memory interface instead of 128bit. Don't think this really matters for tvout though.

    But also... there's NO FAN on it, just a large heatsink, so it doesn't add any noise to the case.

    I just built my new box with this card. The only thing I can't vouch for (although its supported) is its HDTV performance, since I don't have HD yet. I'm just using the SVIDEO out (the dongle has svideo out and component out) and it's running and looking great.

    Ahanix D4 Case, AMD Sempron 2800+ w/Thermaltake Silent Boost HS/F, Asus A7N8X-X, Hauppage PVR150MCE, Leadtek A6200 TDH

    Is anyone using the onboard Intel 900 graphics that come with Intel 915 Northbridge Chipset motherboards?  A buddy of mine has a Sony coming with MCE installed, but it doesn't have a TV tuner.  I wonder if maybe the onboard video can work with the OS, but doesn't have the guts to run and record TV broadcasts.  Gonna go check that MS list now...
