A question...
I currently own the Formac Studio TVR. When I tried using it from my Tivo to my PowerMac G4 Mirror Door Tower, I got an audio hum and it barely worked, 99% did not, but when I hooked it up to my powerbook and the powerbook was plugged into a power outlet too, yes, bad wiring is a concern.... it worked. Now I have heard that the kit to replace the power supply could fix this and I have it... That makes me wonder if I should look into a card like this, which also has the Svideo input, but it a PCI card on the computer and not going thru the Formac to the firwire port to the computer. Just curious cause my Tivo is itching to put it's favorites onto DVD.
