I used to have one called eyeTV it was made by hauppage and it worked pretty well for just being a USB stick input lag was minimal
As said, Hauppage is pretty much that gold standard for user level capture devices. If you can find out what chip it uses, you can normally find a chinese clone for less than half the price (just buy 2!). Or just buy the 1 that will work for sure. Good luck!
I will research what encoder chip the Hauppage uses. That was actually one of the ones I was looking at. Also need to check to see if there is a kernel module for Linux.
Second reply! I actually found it! I have 2 an actual branded eyeTV and just a Hauppage one model number is the same and if memory serves it uses the same driver.
Looks like they only support NTSC, at a first glance. I didn't even think about the whole analog TV factor, most of the stuff I want to record from is PAL. Will dig into the tech specs some more, they might just negate the fact that they also do PAL.
pretty sure it does PAL
They do. I found some technical specs that say they do 50 and 60 hertz. They just don't come out and say the specific video standards anywhere in the consumer tech specs.
