Re: What is the best standard definition video card?

Your post suggests that you want to MERELY watch TV. BTV is a PVR with all its complications and complexity. TBS, I think the best cards are Hauppauge HARDWARE encoding cards. These kinds of cards allow you to run a PVR on less powerful, read "innexpensive", machines. These forums are a wealth of information about the best of everything from motherboards and video cards to drives and displays. Please feel free to become educated as to whether you want to jump in with both feet.

If you need to MERELY watch TV look elsewhere.
