I've not liked any of the ATI tuners.
Get a Hauppage, they are much better.

Quiky One · 14-May-06, 11:13 PM

Any suggestions for which Hauppage?

Thanks Jason

Any hauppage should do. Haven't used the 150. Had the 250 (nice card).

My ATI 550 Pro based Theatrix (Sapphire) card is one HECK of a PVR card... hardware sound &
image encoding ('sync problems are something of the past...)... and yes.. it comes with a remote
and it supports all major PVR appz, commercial, shareware & freeware... including Windows 98/ME,
2000, XP and MCE....

And I know what I'm talking about... my best friend has two Hauppauge 350 cards in his PVR system
but even he admits image quality of the ATI based card is quite a bit better...

Nice to see they're finally useing better tuners.

Most people I asked back when I was looking for one said to go with Hauppauge. TDR is adamant about the ATI's though.

I went with a Hauppauge, mainly because I found a good used one for $30 from a guy on another forum. Along with a nice 4" video screen (soon to be used in a nice mod) for $80.

Hoping to mod it into my Bettie project, and have it run a nice slideshow of bettie page pics on the side of the case, but we'll have to wait and see. So many wires as it is already, every time I start to work on it I get frustrated and stop.

Hauppauge & ATI both make really nice cards... as do other companies.... besides my
personal expierience I love to visit forums & sites on the matter... to see what they think/
and/or have reviewed.... just to make sure others agree to what I feel...

A few I like to visit;
