Michael,

I must admit, I ditched my SE100 ages ago when Creative seemed to lose
interest in supporting it!

I use a Hauppague Win-TV PCI Primio which is perfectly OK, is dirt cheap
(IIRC, full price is ?60 - I got two of in a PC World Bank Holiday special
-
?29.95 each!) and you can watch TV on it, too.

Steve
