A word of caution: I have a formac studio TVR and I would advice against getting one; the software is buggy, formac never replied to my request for a fix, and the device gets the audio an video slightly out of sync. Maybe others have had better luck, and the newer models may have fixed some bugs, but I would not pay more than $40 for the thing that I got now that I know how well it works. A friend of mine really likes his USB eyeTV, so maybe you would have some luck with their firewire version.
