Hi everyone.

Well I only have one more exam in school before my summer holiday begins and I'm looking for TV Cards now.

I have a Mac, so I have to get a Mac compatible TV Card. I've really only found three types of things I want/need. If some of you could just click on the links and tell me if this stuff is right for capturing and the like.
I hope you get what I mean.

The first two links are from Eskape Labs (from Hauppauge) The last link is from ATI. The Eskape ones are rather expensive (up to about $250.00) the ATI one is cheaper.

I recommend the Hauppague USB TV/FM It's really good, mac compatable, and easy to install and use

I recommend this, however, I've just looked on the box and it says under system requirements 'Windows 98'. I can't see Macintosh anywhere! Its worth looking into though, as it produces excellent hight quality AVI captures (examples on TV Home are the North West Today/Tonight stuff, as this was captured by me)

I've got the Win TV USB one and it is excellent.
Alek, I'd go for that one if I were you, it has excellent features etc and is very easy to install.. i.e. you don't need to take your PC/Mac apart.
