matrox G450 eTV : any good ?

[mrbruno]

hi !

I'm thinking of buying a old matrox G450 eTV card.

has someone tried it ?

I know it's old stuff, but i've heard it can capture
Mpeg2.

I can grab it at a good price too... So should I buy
it or run away from it ?

Thanks !

Nothing particularly flash about it. It definitely does not do MPEG2 in hardware. You'd be better off with a decent CX28xxx type card IMO.
