Default recording hardware & software

i bought a X600Pro with PCI-E and i found out that i dont have PCI-E.......

having discovered that i know nothing about my motherboard, i want to ask all the people here that use thier computer to record TV:

1) What TV recording card you use and cost
2) What kind (AGP/PCI-E)
2) What software came with it
3) What software you had to download/buy so you can do more

Yeah, yours is capable of such things, but there are specialised cards for various forms of television... For DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-S2 (HDTV) and standard cable or terrestrial transmisson...
Dunno for which the All in wonder are good for...

What are you gonna do? Buy a new Motherboard? Or an AGP version of the GPU?

X600s are crap anyway - take it back

get yourself 9800pro All-In-Wonder if you really want to save the space.

check what tv ship its using, I know the new x800 and above use a totally new one and are the best, but most AIW 9600, 9800 use the same chip and will do an excellent job.

yes, a 9800 Pro AIW would be a good card for recording, or a 9700 Pro AIW, whihc I think would be basically the same recording quality, the 9800 would just give you a few more FPS in games. But make sure your motherboard atleast has an AGP slot. Some cheap computers don't (like lower-end Dells).

then I'd certainly go for a 9800 pro AIW, but if you're on a budget the 9700 pro AIW cards are pretty cheap on Ebay.
