EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't.

Does anyone know how to make it so that this card will allow me to use my monitor as a TV for my video game consoles?

Of course it does, the yellow goes into the tuner and the red and white go into your sound card.

I'll keep my eyes open for a good price on the 150 model 1045 with remote as I want to record TV and convert VCR tapes. The fellow looking to watch TV I think this would be good for. Also read somewhere that suggests putting it in the first PCI slot if there are problems. I'll see if I can find that source.

Gonna build a PVR-PC and put up an antenna! No more cable costs ($20 for basic network channels) and I'm not gonna pay for a TIVO subscription. This will be my third PC build (don't tell my wife those component boxes are not just "spares"!

anyone who has this card have issues with audio/video sync? I have the leadtek tv2000 deluxe and I would guess that 1/3 or 1/4 of my recordings have sync issues. I was under the impression that this was an issue with software encoder cards.

this looks like a good deal. i currently have the Leadtek TV2000XP/EXPERT . i've never seen any other tuners or their video quality but i assume it could get a lot better. I'm thinking about buying the Sapphire Theatrix Theatre 550Pro TV Tuner Card because it uses the ATI 550pro core. Any opinions or sugestions? If this Hauppauge WinTV-GO is comparable then i would definitely save some money to sacrifice just a little quality.

BTW if anyone is having problems getting the hauppauge drivers to install, DONT use them! You can find some excellent "generic" drivers for the BT8x8 chipset, which are actually much better for most cards (although for this one I do slightly prefer the hauppauge ones). Visit btwincap.sourceforge.net

This was the card that started it all for me. I remember picking up that card for $100 something at Circuit City years ago, when it first came out. Heck, I remember the original packaging for that card. Hard to believe it was so long ago... we've come so far when it comes to watching television on your computer. Heck, just a few hours ago, I was watching the NBA Finals in HiDef.
