[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 59448, member: 11550"] It's probably mostly cost vs marketing. TV makers love to slap a big "NTSC Playback" sticker on PAL TVs and VCRs so people know that they can play tapes sent to them by relatives overseas. Putting the same functionality into a TV card will do nothing for sales and add to the cost. I love the Compros. I worry that sometimes I sound too "fanboy"ish, but they are great and cost less than most of the other popular ones and you also get AV in and Analog tuners. I also have a Dvico Lite but don't like it anywhere near as much. Funny thing is that the Lite was more expensive and has a lot less features. It's in the upstairs test machine as a result. Funny about the names :) [/QUOTE]
