    Question HDTV addon card for ATI Radeon?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if ATI has any future plans to produce a HDTV addon card for there Radeon line? And if it would work for all or just the AIW?

    Hmmm....I think theyre planning to add a HD tuner card for them, but Im not sure when. Theres another company out there pretty close to launching a HD tuner......Keep in mind that these tuners will only work with a graphics card that accepts HD resolution timings, OR has custom resolution ability..

    Ok, so I would assume that if ATI plans to produce an HDTV tuner for there Radeon line then there Radeon cards will be able to support the HDTV resolution timing or custom resolutions?

    I'm quite sure that they are planning on it. One of the ATI executive guys said something like "And a companion product we are developing alongside the radeon will increase it's power by a factor of four." Now this is just marketing rhetoric regarding the "increase in power" crap but it is believed the the product he/they are/were talking about is a digital tv tuner. And they also said that digital tuners are around 6 months away, that was about 3 months ago. I want one damnit.. or maybe i don't because then i'll have no excuse for not buying that 22" Samsung...
