We're looking for a TV Tuner card. It must have coaxial and/or RCA connection. Anybody know where I can find any in SA? Having a hard time finding anything.

Would you guys reckon that the Diamond VC500 would suffice for a good quality live video streaming service?

I'm currently also looking for a video capture card (with RCA inputs like on the VC500) so that I can stream videos (recorded with Sony HDR V1P @ 576i) without using its stupid Firewire connection, because the image quality that I'm getting over Firewire is heavily pixelated compared to the clean output over RCA.
Aside from the pixelation issue that I've got with Firewire, the Firewire video stream (or DirectShow filter in VLC) forces me to also capture the audio from the Firewire, instead of from another audio source such as my PC's sound card - and I hope by using a video capture card I can then capture from an external source (which will require synchronization of course).

We have a 4x units of these card in stock
http://us.kworld-global.com/main/prod_in.aspx?mnuid=1306&modid=10&prodid=21&flag=1

These are not new card as they have been refurbished by the manufacturer are never put on the shelves as new

They only get sold in FireSale or Demo sales , the sales people cannot see that item , as they put in separate location until we do those clearance sales.

If you want you can have them at R 90.00 excl vat a piece

You need to PM me if you want them so that I can arrange for them to be put in sales locations

Esquire, I need a USB analogue tv tuner stick or box that works on Windows 8. You got any for a similarly low price?

you can also have it at R 90.00 but need to check if it is complete

I am actually at the office now busy preparing the list of items for the FireSale that we want to do next month

I bought one of these cheap TV cards from Esquire a while ago (might be the exact one linked, not sure) and it does work on Linux but did require a bit of arduous labour getting it to work properly. I had issues which took me a long time to sort out on MythTV.

Hello Esquire,
Remember I asked you a day before for TV tuner? So you could reserve this one for me if desired, but you didn't think about, but posted here for better bid. So please don't apologise to me, I know rules.

Never apologise if you didn't intended to do it in first place, as it exposes insincerity.
