If so, I'd much appreciate it! > Well... you have asked two different questions in the same question. I like Hauppauge hands down as a tv card. I wouldn't touch ATI's solutions for anything. I'd stay far away. Quality sucks, service is even worse. You will more than likely regret that one. Now... you mention you want a tv card and then mention inputting a camcorder signal. There are cards designed specifically for inputting a signal that may well be better than a standard TV card. Just my 2 cents. > > Thanks in advance > > > David
