Looking for a good PCI card

I'm looking for a good recommendation for a TV Capture card (PCI)

I'm currently using 2 Hauppauge PVR=150 cards and the picture is great but the audio SUCKS and has sucked since March of 2005 with Hauppauge not doing a thing about this issue.

I'm looking for a replacement card NON-Hauppauge PCI card and may consider USB.

Can anyone suggest good capture hardware that works with BTV4?


Thanks

I recommend the Avermedia cards. My m150's have been outstanding.

Re: Looking for a good PCI card

I just upgraded to Visiontek Theater 550 and I am very pleased with it, the PQ and audio is very good. Its based on the ATI Theater 550 Pro chip (ATI TV Wonder Elite).

Re: Looking for a good PCI card

Yeah, now that there is a (unofficial) fix for the 2-tuner audio dropout problem I'm pretty darn happy with mine as well. (Sapphire Theatrix 550's)
