I understand that the DC10+ doesn't have a tuner. I'm working on a
background project of building a TiVo-like timeshifter, and by definition
a tuner is kindof a requirement. The G450 eTV would be ideal, since it
does MPEG-2 in hardware, but there are no drivers afaict. The G400-TV is
expensive and hard to find, and it also is a video card, which will turn
into a problem when I eventually move to a more cost-effective system with
onboard video.
Can anyone suggest any other devices that might work for what I'm doing?
All I want is a PCI card with a TV tuner, MJPEG capture and display,
YUV overlay capabilities, with audio capture a major bonus. Grabbing line
21 would be good as well.
