Actually, KBob should clarify KBob's needs. I have a few use scenarios in mind. One is for debugging TiVos. In this scenario, I ditch the TV and hook up the TiVo's video and audio output to the PC. I make the window very small most of the time (basically I just want to see whether it's booting/playing live TV/in menus). Sometimes I need to listen to the audio, but audio through the sound card is fine. Another is for the kitchenputer. In this scenario, the computer screen is used as a TV. A TiVo (or a very long cord from a TiVo in another room) is the source. Audio through the motherboard sound is fine. A third is video capture. Capture the current TV show to a disk file. In this scenario, audio is needed, A/V quality is important, and A/V sync is important. A TiVo or another DIRECTV receiver is the source. Once I find a decent card at a decent price, I'll probably buy more than one. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
