My aim is to schedule and stream late night televised sporting events from PSI or UBC (True) to my PC and save them for viewing at a later time. I’ve allocated 90 GB of hard disk space to the cause, that gives me about 7 hours at full DV quality. No worries.

Whilst in Aus I explained my requirement to a so called expert shop assistant and was sold a ‘Pinnacle 500-USB’ RCA to USB2 adapter and it’s associated Studio 10 software (AUD $240.00). OK it works and has many features I don’t need but it doesn’t have the scheduling tools.

I’ve searched the WEB high and low and downloaded several capture packages (eg Player A/V 8.14 demo) but none seem to detect my hardware, they go out looking for PCI TV Tuners etc.

Any suggestions on a software utility that will suit my situation?
