Hi, Arun, I might have access to a Pinnacle PCTV Pro PCI card (bt878 chipset, I believe). I gave it to a friend because I wasn't using it, but I don't think he is either. If this is not particularly urgent, then I can send this to you sometime in August when both my friend and I will be back in Chennai. I'm not sure if it is still available from retailers, but you'll find it in abundance in second-hand markets. I also haven't tested audio on it, but it works just fine with video (I only tested with a PAL connector from a rooftop antenna but I've heard it also supports component video - the yellow cable). Good luck, -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
