Re: [vox-tech] Looking for recommendation: video capture/TV tuner

The 2nd & 3rd are the same item, ASIN(Amazon #) is the same.
1st one is USB other one is PCI.

Looking at the manufacturer website, the only other thing I can find out 
is that the USB device min. PC specs are higher 733MHZ over 500MHZ pci.
Also the USB transfer max is 12M/sec on usb 2.0, but I don't have 
comparison numbers.
Other than that ZDNET gave the PCI version a 7.7
