I Got one of these a week or so ago and have used it to capture video from my camcorder. It was slow but it worked. I am still experimenting. I just upgraded my hard drive (added a 120 GB) since these recordings are hard drive hogs. & I bought an antenna to install in my attic from Radio Shack since reception is very poor in my cellar where I keep my G4 B&W. I'll eventually have coax throughout my house for broadcast television reception for my other TVs. --Glen
