I used to use an All In Wonder Pro.  It was not the AGP version, but
otherwise sounds the same.  It did a nice job with tv viewing.  There
is a program for watching the tv, whose name may or may not be atitv.
The one tricky part is that you had to tell your X server that you have
less memory than your card really has.  Of course, this was about a
year ago.  Who knows what improvements have been made.
