Re: [AG-TECH] Osprey 100

	I've found these cards to be very good 4 port (4 ports active at one 
time).. and they cost around the same as the overpriced Osprey 100.. and 
they actually have 4 BT878 chips on them (always good to count the chips)

PV-149 - 4 port video capture card.

	Normally it's $150 but it looks like they're taking $10 off that  at 
the moment.
	Maybe you can return those Ospreys :>
