[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1093805, member: 82144"] No problem here. Hauppauge and AVerMedia and Leadtek still exist. As do DigitalNow, Digital Devices, TeVii, TBS, BlackGold, TerraTec, TechniSat, TechnoTrend and many [I]many [/I]others. There are newer players too like DVBSky. Which companies are you talking about? If you stop and look at the market for awhile you'll understand why. One reason is that digital streams are now more often encrypted in such a way that the only way it is possible to view the content on a PC is to exploit the "analog hole". For this you need an analog capture card. Another reason is that in the last year or two gamers have been buying cards to capture their gameplay and post it on youtube etc. Simple. Lots of people no longer have a PC and instead have a laptop. The most common interface for laptop (and PC) connectivity is... you guessed it: USB. There's nothing too much wrong with USB. :) I don't think I'll answer that. :P Maybe you could tell us your requirements so we can make suggestions for what to get? :) [/QUOTE]
