I want a new TV card

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/I want a new TV card

I am using a Pinnacle Dazzle USB TV stick.
I chose the version with analog and digital input and separate flying lead

The lead allows for S-Video and 3.5mm jackplug audio connections. I have connected this to a satellite receiver although I had to buy separate leads to link the two together

Everything works well except for the damn awfull software which is written in Dot Net. The application feels heavy and sluggish to use. The startup time is pretty crap and changing channels takes an age too. It also took me a while to figure out to get the "digital input" to work.
Recording seems to work ok (but again, operation feels sluggish .. i.e, hit record then wait several seconds before the application acts on it)

Hope that helps
