Both yield poor quality (at least for me). TV tuner card causes much noise into signal since the weak antenna/cable signal goes all the way inside noisy computer, and VHS tape quality is very poor. >> Option 2: Use a VCR for the cable tuner and use a composite to fire >> wire to the fire wire card in my computer. This should be better. I'm using VCR for tuning, and connecting it to the TV card via composite input. But it depends on signal strength, if it's good, there isn't much difference. I guess cable gives much better signal than antenna.
