[QUOTE="scoop, post: 16133, member: 10498"] Hi, (I don't count myself to the "knowledgeable people" but I'll give it a try :wink:) According to [url]http://www.maisenbachers.de/dokuw/install:capturecards:start[/url] , the card you mentioned is currently not on the list of supported hardware. (This doesn't mean that it's totally UNsupported, though) Looking at this list I wouldn't recommend a PCMCIA-based card a.t.m., but advise to search for a well supported USB hardware based TV card (something like the hauppauge WinTV USB2 / AVerMedia AVerTV USB2.0). They're priced about the same as the PCMCIA card you mentioned. And, as soon as you decide you gonna build your "missus" a nice HTPC so she can record those nice soaps, you can also use it for that! :wink: I don't have any experience with USB-based TV cards, so I can't tell you if there's any "lag" with these types of cards. AFAIK USB2 should be able to handle the amount of data, but searching the forum for other users' experiences is recommended. Kind regards, Michel [/QUOTE]
