video card

hi guys, i'd like to be able to record programs from my tv (which gets signal from a cable digital box) onto my pc, can someone recommend a good low cost video card to do this ?
thanks.

Err, you mean software dont you ?

If you have a signal being received by your computer via a card, all you require is the software to capture the signal I.E. something like Pinnacle Studio Platinum etc.

no, i have a regular video card built into the mobo, i need a special video card that would come with software to capture video from the tv through a cable i guess.

Something like that maybe ?

yes, that is what i was looking for, thanks a lot

You need a card that has TV OUT ,,,, thats all,,, and connect S Video cable and use video editing app,

gl,

would the video card come with the video editing app and cables?

The Pinnalce Studio stuff comes with both hardware and software, which is why it is more expensive that some of its competitors. That and its also very good.

Your not trying to do anything professional,,

no need for pinnacle junk,

as for the s video ,, Yes cable usually comes with video card,

gl buddz,

Pinnacle Junk ?

Pinncale is not just for the professionals, its is for people who acutally care about what they are doing.

I`m sorry but I am one of the people who beleive you get what you pay for espcially when it comes to computers and computer components.

If you dont care and your not to bother about quality. just use windows movie creater, otherwise, stick with the decent stuff.
