[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 884211, member: 82144"] Hi Justinbeaird Yeah, I think it should be generally okay, although I can't find any references to that product on Hauppauge's website. I note it is supported on Linux ([URL='http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_HD_Stick_%28801eSE%29']link[/URL]). If you want to try it with MP and analog cable you'll need a software encoding package to convert the analog cable signals to a digital format that the PC can manipulate. By the looks of the information here ([URL='http://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/PCTV%20Drivers/ReadmePCTV.htm']link[/URL]) there is a software encoder and drivers included with the Pinnacle software. I recommend that you go for digital signals if it is at all possible. Software encoders aren't always 100% reliable and may not give you the best picture quality. mm [/QUOTE]
