WinTV, EasyTV, or ...?

[garybeck]

I see a couple inexpensive TV cards on the market. The WinTV product is made by Happaugge, I'm not sure about the EasyTV product. Both can be had for less than $30 if I search hard enuf.

Does anyone have any feedback / reviews on these products? Is one better than the other? Any features that one has over the other? anything I should know before I get one.

thanks!

Have you looked to the left under 'Capture Cards'? <<<<<<

You can also do a Google search by putting in the card name and adding the word 'reviews' and you may get some hits.

Generally you get what you pay for. If you are interested in quality, then look a little higher, maybe the Hauppauge 250. The cards you mention would probably be alright for just time shifting some TV programs to view from your hard drive. If you want to convert to DVD or something archival, you would want a better setup.

dont buy EasyTV Capture Card I own one and it has bad reception with any source, get it if u have some good DivX settings to clear the picture up good but if u want to record stuff to keep then get a more expensive one
