Next TV Card(Leadtek Winfast TV Deluxe Replacement)

[ViRGE]

While I'm happy with my Leadtek TV Deluxe, I have a bit of cash in my pocket, and am tempted to move up a bit to something that offers more quality(i.e. a cleaner picture), internal audio, and perhaps on-board encoding. What do you guys recommend as a step up, or should I just stick with what I have now?

I'm not sure that there are ones with much better quality, unless you have a better signal IE hdtv

u can get the winfast tv expert. has a 10bit tuner which has better quality

i doubt your quality is limited by the card, and hardware encoding is hard to find these days since most any modern PC has the power to do so on its own with software.

I hear the Hauppauge cards are supposed to be really good because they do hardware encoding. I think the models to look for are the PVR-250 and PVR-350.

solid hardware encoding for when you are serious about the TIVO action
