Get a tuner card with a video in port (most if not all cards have it these days). it'll be cheaper the the price difference for an All-in-wander or similar card, and you get a tuner as a bonus. You can't go wrong with a BT powered card, but also check USB frame grabbers - some are supported and will give you more freedom (you could move the grabber easily to another computer or lend it to a friend). -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
