I got an AGP all-in-wonder a few years back and while the dual VGA port inputs were definitely nice, the TV tuner portion of the card stopped working after a while; not to mention the software they include with them is horrendous and there are few alternatives that support the AIW cards available (that I was able to find anyway)

I have a Hauppauge WinTV USB card now and it works like a charm. If you're running Windows 7 you don't even need to install anything, it works right out of the box, just plug it in. It does come with software which is better than ATI's bundle, but I prefer to use Windows 7 Media Center instead.

My first video card was an all in wonder. I loved it but had problems with the drivers. You are right the software that came with it was terrible. It never worked right and when you start recording the software would crash. But it was fun to play around with.

I dont do much recording anymore since its easier to download my shows per week.
