I just bought a stereo tv-tuner, these are the ones that cought my
attention. All screened for Video4Linux compatibilty, off coarse:

- Guillemot Maxi TV Video 3 (also sold by Hercules ?)
- Pinnacle Systems Studio PCTV (people complained about 'snow')
- Leadtek Winfast2000XP Deluxe (is it stereo ?)
- Terratec Cinergy 600 TV (digital sound, IR remote)

I chose the last one (most expensive though). It also has digital stereo
sound, you won't need the line-in loopback (though it doesn't seem to work
under Win98SE). I am currently recording a tape from our old VCR under
Windows :-} at "DVD quality" (6GB/hr MPEG2). I'll see if there are much
dropped frames at that resolution (something like 754x640).
