I saw there are 4 TV receiver card on sale at CompUSA.
WinTV-GO PCI TV Tuner Card ATI TV Wonder VE (NTSC) TV-tuner / Video Capture PCI Card VOODOOtv 100 TV Card, PCI Pinnacle Systems Studio PCTV, PCI TV Tuner Card with Video Capture. All 4 priced at $49.99 (I don't want to spend anything more than that ) STABILITY is the most important issue to me, but I don't know anything about TV card. Please advise... p.s. for cable TV only.

I own the Voodoo TV 200 and I must say that it is only mediocre compared to other cards. It seems to have a lot of win2k people frustrated on their support forums.
I'm assuming that the 100 won't be much better. |

thanks guys....(even though I got it before your post
 )I check these cards out at their website and notice that Pinnacle has NEWEST update driver.... thus, I figure, this should be the one to get. Installation is quite easy. First time, you must use "regular scan", fast scan wouldn't recognize all the channel, but after that, everything seems to be running perfectly. I never tried other TV card before, thus, I have no way to know which one is better. However, it seems running perfectly w/out crash so far. |
