Using DAC 100 to capture from a cable box?

[Y2Bogus]

I'm on the verge of purchasing a Datavideo DAC 100 for my video capture needs, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience hooking it up to a cable box? My cable box has S-video out, and RCA outputs, and I was wondering if by running the video and audio from the cable box would, the DAC would make a suitable replacement for my ATI TV Wonder for my TV capture solution. I've read that the DAC drops frames on noisy captures, so I was wondering if that would be a problem?

My system is as follows

Athlon XP 2200+
1024 MB Ram
2 x 120 HDD 720 RPM
VIA firewire card
Windows 2000 Pro, fully updated with drivers and service packs

I have the DAC connected to my Directv receiver and have not had any dropped frames in the recordings that I have made. I also have it connected the same way you want to. My other capture card is the Xcapture and the PQ sucked. The DAC's PQ is great. I even played around with it by changing channels while recording and still had no dropped frames.
