From what little I know about TV Cards, Compro products are far superior to el cheapo Frontech/Mercury/Other Cr@p.
Here's a review from a very respected source to back up my claim -

Or, you could go with Pinnacle and Hauppage cards, but they're expensive. Leadtek ones are pretty good too, if you're short on cash.
PS: Definitely your config is not adequate to capture directly to MPEG2 (in full D1 res 720X576), unless the card has an oboard HARDWARE Mpeg2 compressor chip.
Ideally you should capture in a format like Intel Indeo 5 or HUFFYUV (less load on your system) and then later re-encode to whatever format you desire.
