pc tv cards
anyone here use tv-cards? those that are plugged into pci slots?
like these: http://www.nebula-electronics.com/in....asp?Code=0001 http://www.pluggedin.tv/site/sweetspot/index.html are these any better or worse than other tv-cards? i hate having to record to a dvd -rw, then copy to hard drive when a straight port to hard drive or capture to hard drive looks a lot simpler & quicker. any ideas? |

I use Hauppauge PVR cards (tv-cards) for my recordings, using SageTV software for the scheduling. I have PVR-150, PVR-250 and PVR-350 cards in various machines. They've been working great for years. I only wish they (SageTV) supported some good HD cards.

LS - simply to cut away the recording to rw dvds then to transfer to pc.
on SP mode rw only handle about 2 hours often i have more stuff to record. so was thinking of somehow getting the stuff off my digibox onto the pc all in one go overnight. then am ready in the morning to cut adverts out and finalise each show. but if you think some/most tv cards are lesser in quality than the jvc dvd recorder, then i might as well stick with that route. Padre2 - did have a hoppy card once upon a time. also had a ati tv wonder which was pretty decent. maybe the ati tv wonder 650 is worth a try? |
If you want to capture compliant MPEG-2 for DVD, with some sort of timer, then I would suggest:
