USB capture cards

wardrobe · 2006-11-05, 20:37

are they as good or equal as PCI cards?

i would like to add another DVB card to my rig. i only have 1 PCI card as i have a shuttle.

im thinking of getting a dual DVB tuner (pci) this would make my orig redundant.

or should i get a usb tuner as i have lots of free usb ports.

so are usb tuners as good as PCI or should i get the dual tuner?

thanks

Stick to well known brands ie Hauppauge, and you should be fine.

What you want is good driver support.
