Hi,

I'm currently looking for some decent hardware that will capture the input
from my cable STB (Telewest) which is essentially my tuner (so I don't
particularly need a tuner). The STB is controlled through the MCE IR
blaster/redeye bolt ons.

Upto now I've been using a XFX NVTV card capturing the signal through a
composite input, my prior configuration involved a Leadtek PVR 2000 (NON OEM
version) doesn't actually work (very well with MCE2005) but I've had some
limited success with it in Vista. Again video capturing was through
composite. (Ideally it would be nice if Telewest would partner up with a
HW/SW vendor and supply DVB-C / CAM hardware for MCE PCs thus avoiding the
whole need for a seperate STB. There seems to be very few DVB-C options
around, mainly everyone is focusing on DVB-S and DVB-T options.)

Anyway my question is does anyone know if the SweepSpot Video Processor
works with Vista Ultimate in Media Center mode (and/or MCE 2005). Url is

given I don't need a tuner having a quality component input would improve the
picture quality significantly over the composite input.

Cheers,
