Anyone able to get AIW pci to work as secondary card in win2k? My primary is Savage4 agp. I don't seem to be able to find any win2k driver for it. Using the one that came w/ win2k will work as primary but not secondary.

AIW does not support being secondary, esp. seondary to an AGP.

Right! If you install an AIW PCI as secondary of an AGP card, then the TV function *WILL NOT WORK*. 
Whether on Windows (9x - XP) or Linux. 
(On Linux, it does very interesting things indeed... )
To make it work, you must define at the BIOS setup that the primary card should be the PCI one, and configure Windows to use the AIW as primary card.
Even then, if you push the TV screen form the AIW monitor to the secondary AGP montor, it wil display an error message and will stop working.
Bottom line: AIW PCI is a really crappy card... there are $25 chinese TV cards out there without any of these problems.
