Any VCR with composite/svideo level outputs. But now your problem changes from "what tuner do I attach" to "how to I tune the tuner". :) One possible solution to that is the RedRat IR control box (http://www.redrat.co.uk/start.htm). > - use my BT878 based card with tuner to select the program and > somehow transfer the captured pic into the memory of the DC10 and > do the compression there.

However, you omitted option #3: Get a Hauppage WinTV-PVR250/PVR350 card, and you not only have an on-board tuner, but hardware compression straight to MPEG all on one little PCI card (linux drivers at http://ivtv.sourceforge.net/). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
