QUOTE The accompanying software suite, TotalMedia, from ArcSoft, is arguably one of the best I personally have used This statement is very odd. How could someone argue whether this is the best software suite you have personally used?  Also, with statements like this it would really help to qualify them with details. Which others have you used? I personally have only had one TV tuner card, and it was of horrible quality, but it's still "the best I've ever had".

480i isn't HD

As a portable usb tuner that can pick up HD signal, it rocks. I could see myself using it while communting 2 hrs on the bus when i was working in NYC to watch some TV, or sitting in teh airport on business trips. Just for that alone its worth it.

ATI MMC, Cyberlink PowerCinema, and beyond TV. total media was the easiest to setup and use out of the box. beyond tv IMHO is the best, but is a PITA to setup.

The images were lossless screen caps at native reso, but i just looked at them now and they have been resized. i believe that the backend we use to upload pics auto resizes them. |

Actually, i've been looking into getting a USB TV tuner. I had a AverMedia PCI TV tuner in my old computer but i'm not wanting to put one in my new computer (i'm saving the open PCI slot for a PhysX card hopefully).
 I miss being able to play PS2 and Gamecube games on my computer...  (i never got around to watching TV much because of the poor signal reception in my bedroom)Now if i can just find a place to buy it (i've found it over on ZipZoomFly but nowhere on Newegg)... |

In an ideal world, every reader will surely read every word you have to say. In the real world, however, I have found this not to be the case. I'd prefer to see justification for a statement such as this at least lie on the same page as the statement, or even a reference to said justification. -------------------- [E7400 Gaming]~[Q6600 Burning]~[Opt148 Wife's]~[3200+ HTPC1]~[3500+ HTPC2] "Thank you for helping us help you help us all." |
