Hey- So i know that tivo and such lag behind live tv because of the recording overlay, and my guess is that my AIT HDTV-wonder card does that as well.

My problem is that I decided to recently hook up my old Sega Genesis to my computer, using my hdtv-wonder card, and of couse there is lag (about 1.5sec from hitting 'jump' to sonic actually jumping). Its quite aweful actually.

Does anyone know how to turn off the preemptive recording or otherwise get rid of the lag while playing console games on you computer? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I had a similar problem with a ATI Theater 550Pro TV card and my PS2, using GB-PVR. The only way I could get rid of the delay was to disable deinterlacing, but then I got a lot of nasty interlacing artifacts.
