ATI TV Wonder Elite RCE PCI
Strengths: Picture quality.
Weakness: Remote not compatible with MCE
This tuner uses ATI theater 550 chipset which is the best analog chipset available now.(Theater 650 came out but I cannot find the product).
You can buy other brand tuner which uses the same chipset.
FYI, powercolor makes PCI-E version of this tuner and the remote included is MCE compatible.

Great hardware, but you pay a lot for crummy software
Strengths: - Theater 550 chipset - good hardware - USB connection for remote control receiver
Weakness: - poor software bundle - no linux support at this time
The ATI Theater Pro 550, of which the TV Wonder Elite is the ATI-branded example, is currently absolutely the best off the air (including cable) analog TV card. It also does an excellent job recording from an external input like an analog movie camera or VHS player (it also does FM, but I haven't played with that). The thing is, you're paying a premium for the software that comes ATI brand over...

ATI TV Wonder Elite RCE PCI
Strengths: High quality analog tuner, good picture, slim form factor
Weakness: Needs additional software to run in WinXP Media Center. Remote doesn't work with WinXP Media Center
Wish it came with an IR remote that would work with Media Center. It does also come with an analog capture cable as well as an S-video and composite video cable. The software included is a little lacking. I was hoping it would be more plug and play with WinXP Media Center edition. However, this is a high quality card that works great once configured.

ATI TV Wonder Elite RCE PCI
Strengths: Clear picture and sound, nice remote.
Weakness: The bundle software is not good enough and not support international TV system.
This is a wonderful TV tuner card. I use a freeware, GBPVR instead of the bundle software that they give in the box. There is some issue with remote installation. After everything is working, this card and remote give the excellent result. If this card can support international TV system in one card, it will make this card perfect.
