I am running a 7800GT right now, but i have an old ATI AIW card sitting around that i have considered using for a TV tuner to record some TV shows. How difficult would it be to do? Im a bit hesitant to install ATI and Nvidia drivers at the same time...

Thanks

good point, i thought it was PCI, but now that i look its AGP. Dag nabbit... wish my 7800 could capture a cable signal!
 
Most likely wouldnt work anyway. When you combine a PCI card from ATI and AGP/PCI-e card from nvidia, or vice versa, whether its for a multi monitor setup or for using one of them as a tv tuner, you tend to get driver conflicts - despite the fact that the cards are on different buses.
 
Tuner cards aren't too expensive. Pick up one with a hardware video processor.
 
yea i saw some going for about 45$+tax canadian in retail stores, so i'm sure on the egg there are a few cards that are dirt cheap0
 
Try installing the ATI HD Wonder with your GT...but make a ghost image of your system first.
My GTX system got owned...
