The PVR capabilities on the All In Wonder versions of these cards interests
me a lot though. What I would like to do is to record TV shows and be able
to burn them to DVD. I would also like to use this card to convert a bunch
of stuff I have on VHS (taped sporting events mostly) to DVD as well.

Yea, it interested me too. Unfortunately the advertised features never
actually all work at the same time (it is like wack-a-mole, each release of
drivers of MMC breaks as much or more as it fixes), and the recorded image
quality is pretty marginal. I finally gave up on my AIW Radeon ever
performing as originally advertised and now own a stand-alone box - the
Panasonic DMR-E80H which can record to its hard disk, or DVD-RAM, or DVD-R
and it has vastly superior recording quality (of course, it is also more
expensive than an AIW card, but unlike the AIW it performs up to advertised
specs).

The graphics part of the Radeon has always worked pretty well for me,
but the tuner/capture part has always been disappointing.

I just bought a new Radeon for a computer upgrade, but not an AIW
version, one of those was enough :-).
