need 2 decide between 3 different cards

[shpanks]

hi,

I thoroughly hate my lifeview flyvideo 3000 tv tuner (it has shithouse driver and technical support) and the only thing i can use with it is the supplied software. I've had enough of trying to get around it so i'm taking some old advice; get a new card!

I've rounded it down to 3 cards:

Prolink Pixelview PV-BT878P+ $130.00aud this card seemed to have bad support in the likes of how the site is badly planned and seems more like the lifeview site but it has the bt878 chipset and captures in mpg2

Pinnacle PCTV $120aud so far i like everything about this card the site the features. Has bt878 chipset as well and captures in mpg2.

Leadtek TV2000 XP Deluxe $115.00aud i very much like the sound of this card it claims it can even capture in mpg4 but i don't know what the chipset is.

The main things that count when i'm buying the card is it has to b able to capture in mpg2 and i need to b able to use 3rd party software with the card i don't wanna b stuck like i am with my flyvideo 3000.

I'm looking around for a Leadtek card at the moment, these reviews made up my mind. The leadtek has the Bt878 as well :)

hey i think i may have found the solution (thanx to your magnificient contribution) as to y i can't get stereo in windvr using flyvideo 3000; i read in the forums from that link u gave me for my current card (flyvideo 3000) and some guy said "BTW: what I learned from the readmes: Due to a driver bug Stereo only works properly when you diable the remote!"; now all i have to do is figure out how to disable the remote :S. So perhaps i won't even have to buy a new card after all. ON top of that there's also links to alternative software that actually works with my card!!!
