I was hoping for something along those lines too. Several channels on my "in PC" card are quite noisy, and I am convinced it is noise from the machine. I can't see why an external/USB solution could not deliver a decent stream. I encode 640x480 NTSC at 5Mbps. That should be doable over USB. I really really would like to get the tuner out of my computer. Having it on USB (easily movable from one machine to another) is just icing on the cake. > Regardless, hauppauge.com shows the retail price of the PVR card is only > $240 USD, and it can do full D1 at 12Mbps. On a related note. What is the difference between full D1 and half D1? What does D1 refer to? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
