USB resources in your computer are not fast enough to provide good
full motion video to your PC and its monitor. That requires direct
memory access from the bus to the video card's memory, so the video
card must be plugged into one of your bus ports.

I've been using the Hauppauge WinTV card, here, for many years. It's
fully cable-ready and provides a dithered, high resolution analog
picture that doesn't suck up any system resources or slow down my
older 733 Mhz computer you can notice.

Even USB 2.0 is too slow, and even if you did get it working, you'd
have no other USB devices to use because it would suck up all the
system resources trying to keep up with the picture and the intense
data necessary for it.

Can anyone recommend a USB connected external TV Tuner, cable ready, with
remote control for use with WinXP notebook PC?

Or not recommend, if there's one to steer clear of.

Thanks.
