TV cards for a laptop

[Incorrigible]

Any reccomendations ??

It would need to be able to record from a video recorder, but not super top quality (I was hoping for about £100, if that's possible)

I've seem some good spec USB one (Hauppauge etc) but I know there PCMIA ones out there too which I guess would be better

Any help appreciated :thumbup:

WINTV NOVA-T USB

PCM v USB makes no difference.

The advantage with USB being that you can attach it to the desktop as well...

worth a punt ?

is USB transfer rate acceptable then

I'm such a numpty when it comes to hardware

Transfer rate shouldnt by any issue really, its more than thick enough to push FMV anyway.

That doesnt look bad for £38, think the Nova USB is about £100.

Nice and compact too (it's not for me, so the desk top compatibility isn't important)

Job, job.

As they say.
