Recommendation on new capture card
I'm thinking of replacing my Hauppauge PVR350 with another capture card (due to excessive heat). Hoping the folks in the forum would have some recommendations.
My setup includes the PVR350 card along with VBox 150. The PVR350 is connected to a DirecTV receiver via S-Video. I don't use/need the analog tuner on the PVR350. I would prefer to use brand other than Hauppauge. The first card I considered is the Avermedia A180. This would give me another HDTV input but it also seem to include S-Video and composite audio/video input (albeit no hardware encoder). The question I have is ... could I use both input of the card at the same time? E.g., record HDTV and DirecTV broadcast at the same time from this one card. The other card I'm considering is the AverTV Purity 3D MCE 250. According to Avermedia site, they say its supported by BeyondTV but haven't seen it mentioned here. Is it supported? I suppose another option would be a card with composite/S-video and audio input but no tuner. I'm not too familiar with these cards. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Here are some details of my setup. AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 1GB RAM Biostar Nforce4 SLI mobo Hauppauge PVR350 - connected to DirecTV D10 via S-video VBox Cat's Eye 150 Windos XP Pro BeyondTV 4.4 |
