Can anyone provide info on which would be a better and more stable multiple display (+TV) solution:
Pairing a normal Radeon 8500 with a third party TV tuner card? OR
Pairing an All in Wonder Radeon 8500 with a PCI video card?
Can either setup allow for TV viewing on other than the primary display?

I'm using a Radeon 8500 and a chip Hauppage wintv card.

I'm running an AIW 8500DV in one machine with a Matrox G200 for my second monitor. In another machine I have an 8500LE with a PCI TV tuner card. With the PCI tuner I can have the video on either screen, but the CPU usage is pretty high and the software stinks. With the 8500DV/G200 I'm limited to the video on one screen only, but there's nearly 0% CPU usage and the ATI software works much better for me. For me the 8500DV/G200 combo works best, but it's not for everyone.

I have the 8500DV with a secondary PCI video card (Matrox Mystique)and as far as I can tell, you can only watch TV on the primary monitor.It goes black if you move it to another monitor.

Jordan I also have a video card + tv tuner (radeon 8500 + tv wonder pci) but don't have the tuner's video on the 2nd monitor, what software do you use to have it on both?
