| 382529 | 2005-08-20 09:50:00 | You can get TV on a PC. You can buy PCI TV tuners or USB. Depends on how much u want to spend. BUT either way you SHOULD be able to record from the tuner or from external sources. |

| 382531 | 2005-08-20 21:49:00 | Try to get a digital card rather than an analogue one as the quality will be a lot better. cheers chiefnz |

| 382532 | 2005-08-20 21:55:00 | I was under the impression that Leadtek and Pixelview both used the Brooktree bt8x8 chipset for a while (Not sure if they still do), would this not mean the quality would be comparible? What you're after is common, and you can pick up nice cheap ones from Dick Smith for around $60 on clearance sales at times. The more $$ you spend though, the better... Anywhere up to $200 for a flashy external one :) |

In trhat case is an nForce4 based motherboard from MSI the same quality asone from Asus? I think not. Anyhow, the software and drivers from Pixelview are crap,wouldn't touch em,nor a junker from DSE. |
