want to mod my PC for capturing stuff from Sky+ (via S-vid / opt-dig out's)...
but what about Sound cards ?
If I get one with optical In & Out, should it work w. no prob's ?
What do I need to watch out for ?
What difference would a 24/96/192 (eg.: Terratec Aureon Sky) card make compared to a 8/16 bit one (Terratec Aureon Fun or SixPack 5.1), if I don't plan to use any analogue inputs ?
I thought - if I pull the audio in from Sky+ using optical-digital, it shouldn't matter too much (?)
For non-AC-3 recordings, the audio should come over in PCM ?
and are there any problems to look out for in combo with the TV / capture card ?
(had shortlisted the Pinnacle PCTV and Terratec Cinergy 400 TV until I found out out about the ProLink Xcapture card on here yesterday, which now looks like the better option)
Thx in advance - Steve
