[QUOTE="Len Lekx, post: 1238089, member: 162292"] Actually, the 2250 is for Clear-QAM capture and one set-top box. (DirecTV receiver) The Colossus 2 is for my cable STB until I can figure out which streaming services give me the programs I want to watch. Once that's done, then the Colossus will do VCR capture and the 2250 will do LaserDisc capture - until I get my entire video collection digitized. I'll be doing that anyway... I guess I forgot to mention that I obtained a USB-UIRT receiver/blaster so that I could run everything from my Logitech Harmony remote. :) I'm trying to future-proof it now, to minimize the upgrades I'll need later. In the near future, I'll considering a 4K set to replace my current TV - so the video card will come in handy. And later, when I add a streamer in my bedroom to replace the cable box I have there now... Plus, PavTube ByteCopy can (from what I've read in the docs...) utilize both CPU and GPU cores to speed up conversions. I have a *lot* of stuff to rip - any edge I can get will be good. Yeah - I took a gamble on that one. But my Colossus 2 arrived at my door today, so I'll replace the AverTV card and that should be resolved. [/QUOTE]
