I have the ATI TV tuner card you mentioned. I think I got it for less than $40 at Wal-Mart.
I have it installed with XP, and have had no problems.
I think the highest resolution video you can capture is 640x480, but you have lots of choices of format & resolution.
Stills you can capture at 1024x768, or the ambiguous "desktop size", which may be higher.
It's a great card, and it comes with software to do a TiVo imitation, with no fees or registration.
I only wish I had cable or a decent antenna signal (instead of satellite), so I could watch TV on the PC. The ATI software has neat features for that, including the TV wallpaper option.
I'd recommend it.
