    I have the WinFast XP2000 capture card in my computer, my question is.... is it possible to put a second capture card in my computer aswell. Will 2 Capture/Video cards effect the performance or contradict each other in any way when i use them. I will only be using one at a time and never both together. It's just that one will have a VCR connected to it and the other a Satellite receiver. It's easier to have 2 cards rather than connect and re-connect cables at the back when i wanna change the input from VCR to Sat receiver.
    Thanks.

    I have never done it myself but you should have no issues. Though I think it would be best to capture each one to a seperate hard drive.

    You could use an A/B switch. For example:
