i have a digital cable service and would like purchase a "pvr" type card namely for the EPG, recording, timeshifting, PIP, editing, etc. features. my concern lies in the fact that i have read other posts which recommend a cheaper capture only card as opposed to one that includes a tv tuner (the Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP was my #1 choice before this realization) since i will most likely have to set the channel through the cable box instead of the capture card.
i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions... should i just grab the winfast from newegg for only $46 or should i invest the money in capture card with better quality signal input (like s-video vs. coax) and/or hardware encoding? i'd like to spend anywhere from $50 - $100, obviously leaning towards the cheap end but any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
