I went to Fry's yesterday, and they have this gadget for $40 with a $30 rebate. It's not too shabby. No HDTV (way more expensive), and you have to buy your own little antenna if you want over the air signals (cheap on ebay, or local electronics stores), but the picture's great for a $10 gadget. You can encode video in a lot of different formats and sizes, and I think I'll be using it to transfer some old VHS stuff to my PC (It comes with audio/video cables, and standard coax.). Not bad for a tenner.
