Strengths: None identified.
Weaknesses:Incompatible with Vista
Overall Evaluation: I was looking for an inexpensive TV/video card. I have plenty of experience with All-In-Wonder line so I immediately went to ATI. It looked (to me at least) like this was the last AIW card they made, seems like they wanted you to buy a video card and a separate capture card which I did not want to do. So I bought this thinking surely it's compatible with Vista, it came out only 2 years ago. Installed card, installed software, radio worked, but when I went to TV, no love. Went around and around with ATI/AMD and after three emails they finally owned up that this product was not compatible with Vista. Had to be returned.

Strengths: Well I had no problems setting two of these in a crossfire configuration and no problems with install or drivers.
Weaknesses:Windows Media Center roll up 2 would not see the second cards tuner in order to set up a dual tuner (dual satelite tv) media center pc. A little trouble running movies on my big screen with only one.
Overall Evaluation: I purchased two of these cards to set up a dual tuner media center pc. I am running them on an Asus P5LD2 Deluxe motherboard with a Pentium D 3.0 and 2 gigs of DDR2 800 memory. Everything set up fine and it found both cards but would only see the tuner on the first card. After months of trying to get help through ATI, updating and reinstalling drivers, catalyst etc. and changing around the two cards to ensure it wasn't a problem with one of the cards, I had to purchase a TV wonder 650 HD tuner pci card to be my second tuner. It found the 650 tuner right away and set up everything perfectly. I currently still have both video cards in the pci-e slots to run them as crossfire since a single x1300 card did not do too well with more demanding games and DVD movie playback. It runs WOW well with the crossfire but I am really considering changing them out for an AIW 1900 and a 1900gt for the primary tuner and crossfire video card. The card worked well and as a tuner and I had no problems setting up the satelite signal so I can't say anything bad about it. Also the failure of media center to see both cards as tuners was not a card failure just incompatibility with MCE in that configuration. It is fine for a mid ranged video card and tuner but if you want to set up a dual tuner or you want higher video performance for gaming or multi purpose entertainment system, you very well may have the same trouble I had with trying to use two of these. The Good was the cards seem to work well for what they are, the Bad was the incompatibility of two of these with MCE and the Down Right Ugly is what I have had to spend so far on the two AIW cards and ATI 650 HD tuner to get this system up and running properly not to mention the cost of changing cards if that is what I ultimately end up doing.

Strengths: NONE
Weaknesses:Flaky Drivers, Shoddy Software, No Tech Support, Very Poor Picture Quality
Overall Evaluation: ATI Support is almost non-existent. I opened a ticket online and ALL I ever got back was "Remove and re-Install the Software" I called and after an hour long wait, got the same via phone. The driver package for some reason will not install correctly and conflicts with other software on the system (fresh XP SP2 install) Replaces an MS DLL and makes other software stop working (Roxio) Finally I bothered them so much they refused to answer more questions- I will NEVER purchase another ATI product ! ! !

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: PCIx, DVI, TV Tuner, FM Tuner
Weaknesses:Single DVI, x1300 isn't powerful enough for hardcore gaming.
Overall Evaluation: This is a very good card for the price. However, it isn't the most powerful graphics card for hardcore gaming. I have it hooked up to a HDTV monitor at 1920x1080 and for most applications it works fine. The card works perfectly with Windows XP Media Center Edition. You can get the same features but with a better GPU in the x1900 All-In-Wonder card but it is also twice the price of this card. All in all a good value but if you have money to burn on your system then I would go with the x1900 version.

Strengths: Works exactly as I expected. Great for video capture & PVR purposes.
Weaknesses:X1300 chip is kind of slow. Not great for games.
Overall Evaluation: This card works great so far! I installed it, loaded the software, and everything just worked. Composite & S-Video in, plus TV tuner. Love the video capture and time shifting capabilities. No regrets for me! :)
