These are digital tuners. Analog is going the way of the dinosaur in the US.
Kworld ATSC 110 (I use this in MythTV) Analog side is software based and not worth fooling with, IMO.
Airstar HD5000 ( I use this one too in MythTV).
Air2pc as webbrewer suggested w/the same caveats. (I use these through MythVideo / Mplayer)
I don't have these but believe they work in linux:
Avermedia 180 (PCI)
Dvico Fusion HDTV Lite (PCI)
You can definitely get the KWorld and Air2pc on ebay for your price target if you're patient.
The others will probably be in the $50.00 to $70.00 range on ebay.
Another thought, from what I've read, when buying a KWorld card new w/rebate, you have to fight to get the rebate.

Hi -
Yes! Prelude does support still images. You can add them into your rough cuts as well - and then when you send your rough cuts into Premiere Pro you can handle any special image manipulation/sizing/positioning/etc. there.
Hope this helps -

Can you please recomend a better solution than this?

I use a servlet to send data from a form to a Mysql database.
The servlet code is the following.
When i submit the form i receive an Error 500 from Tomcat upon the 69th line of the code.
The code has as follows.
package mypackage;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class GroupRegistration extends HttpServlet
Connection con;
public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
handleForm(req, res);
public void init() throws ServletException {
try{
/* Loading the driver for the database */
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/se?user=luser&password=Ztgtkpz2");
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new UnavailableException("Couldn't load JdbcOdbcDriver");
catch (SQLException e) {

PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
try{
LINE69 pstmt = con.prepareStatement(INSERT);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
catch (SQLException e) {
throw new ServletException(e);
finally {
try {
if (pstmt != null)pstmt.close();
catch (SQLException ignored){
Can you please recomend a solution to my problem.
If i mange to overcome the bug do you have any suggestions upon connection pooling or anythink that will make it to run smoothly?
Thank you for your time.

Look where you try to populate the connection variable con:
try{
/* Loading the driver for the database */
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/se?user=luser&password=Ztgtkpz2");
Notice that you redeclared Connection con as a local variable.
try this instead:
try{
/* Loading the driver for the database */
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/se?user=luser&password=Ztgtkpz2");

HT2534 This apple id has not yet been used in the iTunes store please tap review (without credit card)

Dear all!
Please help me with this!
I have just create an apple id and when I want to sign in iTunes store, the message ( this apple Id has not yet been used in the iTunes store please) appears and when I tap the review, again billing information is asked I don't know how complete this section without credit cars and authorize my account please help me with this. Plz, plz plz plz help me?

Hi, I had this problem as well. Everyone kept telling me just to select the "None" option next to the credit card choices -- but I didn't HAVE a "None" option and was getting very frustrated!
It turns out that in this case, you do have to add a credit card to finish creating your Apple ID. Then as soon as it's created, you can go to "Account" at the bottom and immediately remove your credit card information. This worked for me -- my credit card was only in the system for about 15 seconds before I was able to remove it with no problem.
Hopefully this works for you as well!!
Unless you don't have a credit card at all, in which case there might not be a solution. I have a credit card and just didn't want my information stored by Apple. Anyway, good luck!

Please Help!! Network Card Won't Detect Modem.. Advise about my options?

Thank you in advance for reading my post and for any help and advise..
I am on a friends computer because my Network Card went caput!.. now my computer can not detect my modem..
What happened?.. my surge protector did not protect my iMac during a thunder storm, and I have not been able to get online since.
I am almost sure now that my Network Card is the problem.. I have heard I will have to replace the entire board now! This could not have come at a worse time for me, so I am hoping and praying someone here will have a less expensive work around for me.
I am currently running a 700MHz G4 Flat Pannel with a DSL modem from Bell South. I was using my Ethernet input to get online, but, again, the modem can no longer be detected. This particular modem will not allow me to connect via USB either. If it did allow me to connect via USB, would that even work seeing how my network card is a wash?
Is there a way I can get another modem and use a USB or wireless something or the other to get my iMac back online without having to sell my arm and leg?
Sorry about the length of this post; I just want to make sure I cover as many bases as I can think of. Thank you again for any help; I really appreciate it! *april

BRAD!.. we are two ships sailing in the same mirky water; please somebody light a flair or something! =P
I always thought these things happened to 'other' people.. REALLY stinks to be us right now.
I have been doing some more reading.. my friend was nice enough to let me borrow his computer for a little bit. However, I still have not come across a definitive answer for a proven Internet access alternative.
So far, I have read about one other option that MAY work.. What I really need to know is.. with a corrupt Network Card, is it even POSSIBLE to get online by ANY other means? Or does having a corrupt Network Card mean that it destroys ANY other way to get online without having to replace the entire board? Is the Network Card what enables us to get online, or does the Network Card just allow us to connect to the Internet via Ethernet cable alone? I still have not found an answer to these questions.
That said, I mentioned reading about another Internet connection solution. This other option involves buying what is called a wireless router and a wireless AirPort card. I think they have to be installed inside the hard shell?? So with these parts and service, I believe we are still looking at a ballpark of US$200. I wish somebody could tell us, are there any other options?
On a side note, I have also learned that my particular 700 MHz iMac Flat Pannel will NOT take the wirelss AirPort EXTREME card; it will ONLY take the Original AirPort card, which, by the way, are more expensive and hard to find. Not too sure exactly what iMac Flat Pannel you have, Brad, but you should try to find out which one will work for your iMac. I don't know if I should trust eBay for used electronics, but it seems you can pick them up for a little less money than on any online websites. I saw some on a website called macofalltrades.com for about US$100.00; this website looks legit. I also tried Craigslist.ORG, and somebody was only selling an AirPort Extreme card, not the original... It may be worth looking on a near by big city local Craigslist though; make sure you click on the city nearest you.. The default craigslist.org is for San Francisco. I have heard a wireless router costs about US$40.00. However, I don't know exactly what a wireless router is or even what type I need to be looking for, what brand etc??
I need to know if I buy an AirPort card, will I also have to buy that AirPort Base thing as well?? All this information is becoming overwhelming. Could somebody please try to clairify? We would be eternally greatful! =)
Sorry about your computer, Brad; I know what you're going through. =(

Stuck on Please Wait to confirm credit card info screen

I entered my CC into, Hit confirm and it went to the grayed out screen with the white "Please Wait" with the spinning logo. The logo is still spinning, but nothing is happening. It's been like this for about 10 minutes. I'm reluctant to close the browser, which is Chrome. Chrome works in other windows as does the computer. Should I try again or does it sometimes take a long time to confirm a CC order?

Cancel it and close the browser, then log-in again and see if it went through. If it didn't, try again. If it won't take, try once more with a different browser or contact sales support by phone or web chat.

Please help in selecting video card

I have an older 500 MHZ (single cpu) G4. I just bought a 23" Apple display. I use the comp. for graphics applications (photoshop, illustrator, etc)
The video card I have in the G4 currently is an ATI Rage 128 Pro. I need to upgrade for the new monitor. I need an AGP card with at least 128 MB and a DVI connection for the new Apple display.
Also, right out of the box, the display does not work. I had it all hooked up and plugged in and the display never turns on. The LED light doesnt even light up. Is this a bad transformer or a video card problem.
I am sending the display back.
Please help me pick out the correct video card. All of the ones I have seen are either for the G5 or not for certain generation G4. I will be upgrading to G5 sometime next year but I have to work with this one for now.
Thanks for your help.
Paul

Someone please suggest bootable SATA-II card

Hello,
To whom it may concern, I have a Power Mac G5 Quad with 10GB memory and SATA capability. I am fully aware that the G5 Quads natively can only support 1.5GB/sec type drives, however I am in search of a not too expensive PCIe SATA-II card which will allow me to hook up 3.0GB/sec drives to it. I was also told that there is a substantial difference in speed between 1.5 and 3.0. Of course, coming from a G4 Dual 1.25 which used PATA, 1.5 is enough of a difference.
However, I would like to get a nice SATA-II card which support booting into OS X. I have a 640GB green Western Digital SATA-II drive on order, but for me to take advantage of 3.0 speed, I need a nice bootable, SATA-II PCIe card.
Can someone please recommend one for me? Also, will the G5 accept SAS drives?

Hi Nadav,
This and, ideally this, should do it. But it only works on a few mac pros if your heading that way.

There are larger Firmtek cases if thats your need.
Edit, not sure if any G5 or Mac Pro can supply that speed.
