I'm looking to add DVR function on my notebook, much like i have on my desktop pc(with Windows Media Center addition). I purchased a ATI TV wonder USB 2.0 external capture card and found that the software it comes with flat out sucks(in my opinion). I also read somewhere that it is best to have a device that encodes the mpeg via hardware and not software. Is there a USB device like this out there? If not, will i be able to use my ATI with software such as Beyond TV or Sage TV? Any help would be great
The one I use for my laptop is made by Pinnacle. You can view it here http://www.dealtime.com/xPO-Pinnacle_PCTV_USB2_EXT_USB2_0_TV_TUNER_PCTV_USB2_EXT_USB2_0_TV_TUNER
Oh, forgot to add. This device would allow you to plug up your xbox, Playstation, Gamecube, etc. and play them on your laptop screen. The video quality actually isn't too bad either.
hi i bought a dell angel usb tv tuner external, and it has a/v input for devices like xbox or ps2. You said that you can connect it to it, which i can, but i'm not sure how to show video on my laptop. Tv works fine. i have dell xps2, pent. M 2ghz, 1 gig ram, 256 6800ultra video, 60gb, windows xp media ed. Could you tell me how to play games, with a program or whatever else. THanks.
