One of the most popular (because it is one of the most
reliable) is canopus ADVC-100 Street price $250-300
but superseded by new version ADVC-110.

Not sure what is the difference between ADVC-100 and
ADVC-110.

Canopus is a very good brand, and I prefer the ADVC300 as being
the best that I have seen. The other units also have good reviews.

I have a ADVC 100 - and I just love it. I guess the 110 and 300 are good
too.

They removed the 'copyright protection removal' feature on the new 110.
Only difference that I can see.
