I really don't understand peoples expectations on capture cards when they aren't willing to dish out the money.
This is a classic case of "settling" for a capture card.
If you want your expectations to be met without conditions just save up the money and get a HDPVR or any of the numerous PCI Capture Cards.
If you want to settle with a least some kind good outcome Roxio makes an HD capture card for a little less than the HDPVR, but it wont meat most peoples expectations.
