[QUOTE="comicbookguy, post: 95116, member: 187394"] I have tried and wasted money on quite a few cards: 1....Dazzle USB Recomended by a (ex) friend,dreadful capture my old spectrum +2 could do better. 2....Pinnacle Cheapo card (can't remember model) Good for vcd quality caps/can't do full dvd quality caps. 3..Skystar 2 excellant for satellite captures,If you mainly wan't to cap bbc,the this could be the way to go. 4....Nebula freeview Card.Pricey,but good captures off freeview and was easy to use. 5..DVD Recorder (Mico £99/Sainburys) My choice now....If it isn't on BBC (sky star2) then I use my Dvd Recorder now. You can use it on Sky (except Macrovision PPV Progs/unless you have a bug blaster type product) Freeview (if you have a box) Standard TV You can then put the resulting DVD+RW in your computer and edit it.Burn your own edited dvd off and erase the RW and use again. The problem with capture cards it only works as good as you computer and can start dropping frames.But this way you can record the program ads as well,then just edit it at your lesuire. <<Go for the DVD recorder If You have the cash>> [/QUOTE]
