D:

did you even read what he wrote? he said the program works for decrypting european cable, but not for american cable.

as for the original question, i recently got an ATI TV Wonder VE and i'm very pleased with it. there was a period when this card did not work properly under windowsXP, but the last couple of driver releases have fixed the problem. i've found that TV Wonder does a nice job of capturing VCD-quality mpeg from TV, using a program called WinDVR.

if you are in the market for upgrading your graphics card, you might consider "killing two birds with one stone" by getting an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder card, which is a 2D/3D VGA card with a complete TV Wonder tuner/capture device integrated onto it. and a remote control is included in the 8500 models and newer.

look for a decoder cablecrypt pop the cable in the tv card and tune easy as that

Not mine. All of my Pay Per View is digital cable. However, my TV Wonder card can recieve analog cable signal very well.

I really had a bad time buying a TV tuner

First, I was considering to buy a TV or a TV tuner and I decided to buy a TV tuner because it saves spaces.

after I decided to a TV tuner, I searched information about USB TV tuner(I have a laptop), There are ATI, Pinnacle..., I really couldn't decide which one to buy. I read a lot of reviews(there are not so many articles about TV tuner especially the usb ones), most of the cards have low picture quality according to those reviews. And I finally chose Viewsonic Nextvision N5 TV tuner, it took me a whole week to come to the decision. I bought at www.directdial.com. There's nothing happened after I connected my laptop with the TV tuner, I wrote email to the store about the TV tuner if it's compatible with laptop and viewsonic, there's no response. and I posted in a forum(can't remember which one), and then I know it's not compatible with laptop because most laptops don't have video input. There's nothing I could do, I couldn't return the Tv tuner because the store has really bad return policy, I hate it. I'll never shop there again. and I bought a Portable LCD monitor, the quality just sucks.

and now I'm going to buy another TV tuner.
