TV Capturing.. what card is best?

[phill9700]

hi
i have a modest system (2.2ghz amd xp, 1 gig of corsair memory, 9700 pro, epox 8rda+ board, (using on board sound) but when im capturing something from the tv, my card is dropping frames like they are going out of fashion.
I have a Hauppauge Win/TV 878/9 model (if that makes any sense!!) and i have had this for ages, but only started using it today again.
trying to capture off of the tv (music videos for example) regardless of what res, sound quality i try and use, when i play it back, i get sound but no video. i think on average im loosing 66% of the video, which isnt good at all.. this is why i feel im getting no image.
can anyone recommend me a better capture/tv card for my pc setup, as im really not sure what to get that wont drop frames and wont cost me £1000 to buy.
if i said would a £100 be enough to spend on a card, could someone, (anyone???) give me an insight to what i might be able to get please? i might be swapping boards at some point (to a 8rda3+ so not much change at all, but another Xp1700, certain type of one anyways will be used.. hopefully it will be faster than the one i have now..) but thats about it..
do i need anything more for my pc or am i ok spec wise?
i thank anyone that replys, best wishes to all

What driver are you using? My wintv card works great....

im using the one that came with the card itself.. is there an update that might help me out or do i really need a new card?
i have heard that firewire is the best way to capture...
i think the drive is a year 2000... maybe something to do with the millieum bug? on the cd its got the version 4.6.. is that good or bad?
also when i was having problems with getting the sound, i was getting a 'perfect' capture without it, no dropped frames at all. would that really make such a difference? im using windows xp pro with service pack 1a
