Tv tuner card question

Post by shownomarcy »

Hi all!

I'm planning buying a TV tuner card. Primary reason would be to transfer VHS tapes. Only secondary would be to watch tv.
What would you recommend?

I can see there are some usb version too. Do you recommend a card type or usb type?

What other, extra functions worth to check than being able to record?

my configuration is:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
Motherboard: ASRock 890fx Deluxe5
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3-RAM, 1600 mhz, 8GB (2x4gb)
Videocard: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB
HDD: 2TB Samsung 5400rpm HD204UI SATA
Cooler Master RC-502-SKN1 Centurion 5 II
cooler master 550W
PIONEER BDR-207DBK BLU-RAY writer
- Windows 7

Thanks!

Definitely 'card' type. USB is slow.
