Guys,
It has been a while since my last post, so happy New Year everyone! )
Now, I need advice: I like my video card and see no need to get an All-in-Wonder. However, my card does not have a TV tuner. I can't figure out what is the best TV card/tuner solution.
Here's my CPU/Video specs:
2GHz Pentium 4
ASUS V8200 GeForce3 Ti-500 Deluxe
Here's my problem:
1. The ASUS card comes with Digital VCR software which works pretty well (when I capture from Composite input). The D-VCR has Time Shifting, Scheduled Recording, supports a gazillion of TV and compression formats - the whole nine yards.
2. Many add-on TV tuner cards seem to have many of the same features my video card has, which makes them unnecessarily redundant.
All I need is a HIGH quality TV tuner to attach to my ASUS video card. Any advice? Please.
Also, I've been looking at PCI and USB TV card solutions, such as
1. PCI PINNACLE SYSTEMS PCTV PRO TUNER & VIDEO CAPTURE CARD (WATCH TV CAPTURE & BURN VIDEO 210100209)
and
2. USB PINNACLE SYSTEMS PCTV DELUXE TUNER & VIDEO CAPTURE CARD (WATCH TV BURN VIDEO 210100231)
Any input on that?
Thanks.
