Subject: [ukha_d] WinTV-NOVA-T USB or PCI

I'd love to have a fiddle with these new Hauppauge WinTV cards as
the idea of using my PC as a Tivo type device is tremendously
appealing.

Anyway, just browsing over the USB external and PCI internal card
options on their site. I imagine the USB traffic the external box
would generate would be pretty significant. I've generally shied
away from USB devices for high(er) bandwidth uses because of
high CPU usage. BT's USB ADSL modems seem to induce a
significant CPU hit for instance.

But I can't recall now if I have any free slots in my Server that I can
put one of these PCI bad boys in, ensuring it has its own IRQ.
Been a while since I dug around inside that box.

Just gandered a search on Google and looks like there may be a
fair price hit on the USB model. Dabs say =A3119ex for the PCI card,
=A3170 for the USB job.

Guess I'll have to figure out what free slots I have... ;)
