To take that a step further:
I'm constantly dis-appointed in the quality of my cheapo frame-grabber
crap cards. To make it even suckier, it has no audio onboard so I run
a patch cable from the audio out to the Line-In on my soundcard. It
gives this beautiful "hiss" when I watch it.
I'm in the process of dumping these cards on ebay and getting a PVR flavor.
