Best card for the money
I have an IO-Magic PC-PVR card. Its a TV tuner card. Does pause live, instant replay, and VCR functions. For $39 at CompUsa it was a serious bargain. Its a PCI card.
The next ONLY product that also does the pause live, resume, instant replay stuff (timeshifting) is the Personal Cinema from Nvidia.
I'm debating getting a GForce3 with personal cinema OR getting a GForce2 PCI card with personal cinema AND a GForce3Ti500 for the AGP slot. Make use of a second monitor for the TV functions as wel as making my desktop bigger witht he second monitor.
