The AIW cards can be a pain in the ass when it comes to finding correct,
stable software, because the various tuner/player apps are not updated as
frequently as the core Catalyst drivers. AIW cards are considered
end-of-life by ATi, and as such tuner/player apps are not available for
Vista.
Better to find an appropriate plain video card, then add a separate
tuner/capture card like the LeadTek Winfast PVR or Hauppauge WinTV series.
