im looking to buy a tv card so i can watch telly on me pc
has to be able to run fullscreen & windowed
preferably with a built in mpeg decoder for dvds (not too important tho)
compatible with Voodoo3 3000
how much do they cost btw?
and what model would you recommend?

the hauppage ones are good but i dont know of any that do mpeg2 decoding but i thought the v3's did that anyway
the cheapest starts at abbout £40 then £50 if u want it with a remote or £60 with fm radio too
there is also a nicam stereo one that is about £80
Lo there matey
In my opinion the hauppage ones are the best, a sensible all around one is the hauppage primio ( i think thats what its called) which is stereo and can display the picture from icon size to full screen. They are relatively easy to setup but as Jay-Dee said DVD decoding isn't an option with the cards, however your voodoo should indeed do a nice job of decoding the picture for you.
