I tape Knick games via a TV Tuner card that I installed in a vacant slot. Cable goes right into it and TV displays on my monitor through the motherboard with audio jumps to the sound card input. Software comes with capping ability. Comes with a TV remote.
Today, that's just a regular old digital camera I ran some video with.
You know what's crazy? Back in 1994, or so, my first computer was a Compaq Presario. It was 'da shizznit', and it came with a tv-tuner card preinstalled. After that, you never saw computers with them preinstalled. I wonder why they did it on that one computer.
Interesting.
Yeah, I always felt computers should all come with a high powered all-in-wonder video card, fully installed memory, and a large hard drive.
The fact they didn't drove me to build my own...at like 1/3rd cost in the end anyway. I built two systems 6 years ago and they're still perfectly fine. 2.4ghz and 2.8ghz - 1gig memory each. They're so old there's no upgrading but they still run great.
