Can you watch TV on your computer while surfing with the 9500 PRO? If not, and I already have the 9500 PRO, what would I need to get?

Thanks

Does your card have VIVO? I'm not up to speed on ATi products, but sound like you need second card with TV Tuner capabilities. ATi hasn't released the 9500 All-in-Wonder, and I don't even know if they will anytime soon. Check Newegg (http://www.newegg.com) for tv tuner cards.

I don't think it has VIVO. It has S-Video adapter, but I don't think that is the same thing. I guess I'll have to get a separate cheap TV Tuner card to do the TV thing.

With a TV tuner card, can someone watch tv, and someone else be on the computer at the same time and play TV in the background, or will only one screen get the picture? Thanks.
