I just picked up a Pinnacle Systems Studio PCTVpro at Office Depot for about
$80. It does NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. Or at least it says it does... I don't
have anything besides NTSC to test it with.

Hi folks,

I thought I had a great idea the other day. Since the number of NTSC
machines in my collection is growing and my little NTSC portable isn't the
best of things to look at (3" screen!) I thought I'd get a TV tuner card for
my PC that would allow me to connect up my PAL machines and my NTSC
machines. Amongst other things this would let me do screen grabs of uncommon
machine boot screens and the like for the museum.

Problem - I can't find one anywhere! Does anyone know of a card that does
BOTH PAL-I and NTSC or do I need to get 2 cards? And will 2 cards live
happily together in the same box?

cheers
