Help with tv and video capture card please

[PV5150]

Hi Guys

I want to purchase a tv card for my PC, and I'm not sure which one to grab. Any input would be greatly appreciated; here are two I have been looking at

As well as HDTV, I have some analog Family videos that I want to convert from our old video camcorder, and from our new digital video recorder.

Thanks for all your input guys...muchly appreciated :worship: I searched everywhere here in Aust and couldn't find the ATI card (bloody typical) . So I went to get the Dvico and have since found out that it is gonna restrict me too much, so after the slaesman gave me the spiel I have decided to try the Compro DVB-T300.

This had better not give me the grief that Fraggles had with his card, or it'll be back at the store faster than you can say "Jack Robinson".

@Davos Yeah this was gonna be a card to throw in the machine as opposed to a dedicated HTPC. I'll keep a look out for the ATI version you guys recommended to put in the A64.

Thanks again, and I'll post some screenies once the card is up and running. :worship: :wavey:
