I'm thinking about getting a TV/FM tuner to use in my comp so I can record shows and old family videos off VHS. Interesting article on the frontpage about the ATi550, but after reading threads comparing it to the PVR150; the 150 seem to be the better choice. My question is whether I will be able to do other things on my comp while recording shows, aka are both cards totally HE? It seems like the extra ram on the 550 would make it better. But I'm not sure, my setup is an A64 3000+, 1GB of RAM, 6800NU. Will I have Driver conflicts with ATI/nvidia drivers?
Here are the two I'm looking at:
ATi550
PVR150
The 150 doesn't have software Apps so I'll have to get those if I go that roiute, Any recommendations?
Could I hook my Xbox up to one of these?
Also, maybe this should go in another thread but I'm going to have a cable connection in my room so my father doesn't have to look at the Cat5 cable I strung across the hallway and taped down after getting fed up with wireless, is there any way to use the same cable line for tv and my router, or will that hamper performance on either?
Thanks guys
