I've been thinking about hooking up my cable to my puter. There's a bunch of decent video capture cards that I'm considering, but I'm not sure which one:

- what to look
- features
- what is reasonable price

Any suggestions? Here are some I'm considering

Asus My Cinema-P7131 TV Card w/ Remote
AVer Media AVerTV Go 007 FM Plus
Hauppauge WinTV PVR150 MCE w/ MCE Remote
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 Hybrid Video Recorder
SAPPHIRE Theatrix Theater 550 Pro TV Tuner Card

I have a Super Digital Video. Needs no capture card. I don`t use it much for this.
I bought it to access my wireless infrareds from the PC.
