Hi and Laptop TV Question

[ChrisReid]

Hi, I'm back from my illness.. and we were also wondering about a laptop question. Has anyone used the ATI TV Wonder USB? Is it any good? I've got the old PCI one and it's okay.. but I wonder if they dumbed it down for the USB version. Some features seem to be missing. I'm looking to use my laptop as a mobile console monitor. Seems like a USB tv in would do it. Most support S-Video, but I think the quality might vary widely. Are there any PCMCIA tv in alternatives?

I tested out the USB TV Wonder a while back, while trying to find a TV-In solution for WC Computer. I found the video quality to be pretty substandard... and I ended up buying a pass-through device instead.

I guess the USB1.1 bandwidth is bad for it.. Hades ordered a new USB2.0 deal that seems neat.. so we'll test that.
