Video capture card recommendations

Post by def1ant »

I am trying to pick a decent video capture card to make a PVR.  I plan to use it only for analog feed coming from my sat box.  No HD.  Does anyone have any recommendations on a good card based on first hand experience?

A country would be useful, and also what outputs your STB has (Component/HDMI/Composite/Svideo).

The hauppauge Cards (PVR150) I've used with Svideo and Composite successfully for a number of years.  But I've gone 100% Digital now with DVB-S and DVB-T.

Sorry - I should have included this earlier.

US - Sat box.  I want to replace my aging and dying Tivo.  I have composite and Svideo on my sat box.  So, the card has to handle one of those.  I am looking at Win HMC for playback etc.
