hope Erol doesn't mind me chipping in on this - I also have an ATI AIW 9800se.
Mike - these cards have full 'video in' & 'video out' capability & can capture from any composite or svideo input. They also have a TV tuner built in, so you can watch TV on your monitor - and record TV direct to the hard disk (assuming a suitable cable/aerial feed is available). Using the supplied software you can also use the card for playback of DVD, VCD, CD & AVI. For DVD playback (assuming you have a DVD drive in your pc), you can watch on the monitor, or output the signal to an external TV & the card provides an RCA lead with an (undecoded) dolby 5.1 output as well, for an external amp/speakers.
