Thanks for the info jamesrpm. I'm running 98se also. Forgot to put that in the first post. I'll most likely get an ATI card because of the price. Hey dave computer, a tv card lets you watch TV on your comp. Thanks again all.

As far as I know there are only two types of video card that are compatible with the ATI TV Wonder VE and the are the ATI line of video cards and Nvidia video cards.

One thing I am unsure of with TV cards is this - can you use TV card with analogue ariel, or do I need to purchase digital receiver?
Many thanks |

[A TV card is an add-on card with a TV-tuner, allowing you to connect your antenna cable to your PC to watch TV on your computer monitor.

There are different TV cards. . analog. . digital. SAT cards, etc.
When you go to www.hauppauge.com there you can see the full range of TV tuner card products. And yes, you also can record TV program to hard disk. The WinTV PVR, for example, has a MPEG-2 encoding chip, allowing you to capture directly into VCD, SVCD or DVD format. With a basic TV card you'll need a software codec and some CPU power to capture TV programs. And of course a second hard drive will reduce the risk of dropped frames.
