TM> If you want, you could get a TV-in card that is compatible with Video4Linux and a big TM> hard drive (40-80 GB). Unless you find the right software, you wouldn't get the full range of features you'd get on a TiVo (like skipping commercials), but it'll record of the TV just fine. In TM> fact, my VCR is on the fritz (it only records in black & white, which could TM> probably be fixed by a good cleaning), so I'm thinking about replacing it with a TV-in TM> card.
Be sure to get a TV-in card that does MJPEG compression on the fly, and also does TV out as well. I bought a Matrox Marvel G200 that cost similar to a new VCR, or perhaps a bit lower. My only complaint is that it's a bit flaky on Windows 2000 (only runs well on Win98), and there aren't any decent linux drivers for it yet. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
