 I had same problem but not didn't have a TV but more didn't have a TV free to
use when I wanted to program (Ally McBeal was also more in favour than my
Yaroze prog).

Anyway, I just got a miroVIDEO PCI card from Simply Computers
(www.simply.co.uk).  It cost ~£50 and is working a treat.  I haven't tried NTSC
input yet but it says it can do it, so I should hope it will do so.  I am
impressed so far (running under Win 98).  This card was recommended to me over
the Hauppauge cards.

Cheers and good luck
