Re: Medusa PVR
Don't forget the hidden costs.
6 x BTV Link licenses ($40) = $240

Re: Medusa PVR
If you read the Medusa PVR details, it says they added the six cards at once then pressed OK a bunch a times to the Found New Hardware prompts. Wow, SO brave! So, lucky it worked (I mean it was XP right?) I wonder how many New Hardware and driver prompts for a 6 PVR500 setup. Sounds Crazy!

Re: Medusa PVR
ticklemeozmo-
you forgot that two of those licences were included with the purchase price of btv. but, when it is time to upgrade to btv4 (not to open that can of worms, or anything), are they going to have to buy 4 more licences? probably too early to get a true response on this topic, but before i buy several licences, it would be nice to know what time frame we can expect these to last. archie ps great work on 3.5 snapstream!

Re: Medusa PVR

Re: Medusa PVR
[edit:]rakesh responded at same time, so slightly modifying post[/edit]
Well, the price could be included within the "whitebox" computer. But any videocard with TV out and DX9 support will give pretty much the same performance. For example in regards to BTV: GeForceFX5200 = GeForceFX5900 Ultra. Obviously you want to buy the best you can afford so that it can handle other applications and future-proofing it. But no need to grab a $499.99 card or anything. -Brett
