i've been looking into tivo's and now that the 40 hour is only a hundred dollars, i think i just might get one.
but, i want to back them up onto my computer, so i need a video capture to do it
anyone have any suggestions?
i need a cheap one, not an expensive one like that dazzle

hiya metroid010,

cheap video capture devices are fine providing your not planning on doing any editing - the money for the more expensive devices basically goes into reducing the "render time" when your doing things in an editing package.

quick question before we go any further though - are you hoping to connect the Tivo directly to your computer or are you going to have some sort of inbetween such as a vhs deck or dvd recorder?!

Awai.

i'm trying to get a hookup straight to the computer
