Hello everyone, question about tuner/capture cards.
I was wondering if there is a single card that allows capturing from cable, and also has support to get audio/video display back out to the TV set.
Budget isn't much of an issue.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Keep up the good work on the site.
You mean like Tivo - with your PC instead? Only if you use AIW Radeon(7500 or 8500) with Full screen TV output to TV.
A true passthru doesn't exist AFAIK.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn't have thought so much.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by ath0mps0 on 04/22/02 08:04 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
this is in my opinion but i think you would be better off with a capture card and a tv-out card individually. the reason is you have more choices. for instance you said that price wasn't a object, well then go with a osprey 200 ($200 - $249) capture card. this is one of the best capture cards on the market! it supports 800 x 600 native capture, lets see ati do this without droping frame rates!!! as far as tv-out, go with a ati radeon 7500, ati still has the best tv-out followed by matrox (550 or 450) (yes they are actually good for something). this is the setup i have and I love it. I use direct tv s-video out to osprey 200 and looks great. if your interested in tivo like usage, use anyone of a hundred pvr programs. for more info on this goto: www.avsforum.com this is a must for htpc needs and info!!!!
