hey guys. what's a good and cheap pci tv tuner card? i already have an ultra, so an add-on pci card would be best. thanks.
 
Get on eBay and look for a WinTV 401. I got mine for less than $30 shipped. Great card with good support... Just watch the auctions for the low one 🙂.

edit: oops, that was supposed to be a 🙂, not a :|, fixed 😉...
 
ATI has a lot of nice features, I know I have it...crappy driver support as always with ATI...

I run it in win98, but I have heard it lacks support or good support in win2k...so beware. I think it still runing aroun 60 bucks but can be picked up in the for/sale forums for around 45-50 usually...

cheapest has to be hauppage wintv usually sub 40's, but lack all the features of ATI...

ATI has a TV wonder VE version which I believe lacks a few of the capture features and runs about 20 bucks cheaper...
 
thanks. 🙂

looks like i'll be picking up a hauppauge. either model 401, 495 or 697. (if the price is right...)
 
I had the WinTV-Go and liked it. I now use the WinTV-radio ... I like the remote (makes you feel like you are actually watching TV) and it has a stereo decoder on it.
 
I love my ATI-TV Wonder -- especially the exclusive "Desktop tuner" where your wallpaper can become the TV Tuner input (S-video, coax, etc.)
 
Does the 401 have TV out? I'm looking to get a card that I can use for VIVO. I'd like to spend less than 50 bucks so if this has it, it'll be perfect.
 
Dude! Don't use TV out - use dTV on a monitor. It is supposed to be awesome if your using a good feed for video. I haven't tried the card yet at all for anything but I brought it to record the Simpsons if I get Direct TV or something similar. Right now I don't subscribe to any service at all except DSL & phone 🙂.

But to answer your question - http://www.hauppauge.com/html/wc_data.htm. I'm not sure but read up there!
 
the ATI tv tuner actually have win2k drivers. They were created due to 'popular' demand...but they are in beta. I can't seem to get mine to work tho..video shows up but no sound 🙁
