Hi,
For realtime MPEG2 capture done in hardware, the cost is going to be higher than $120. You <b>may</b> be able to find one used somewhere.
If you can boost your machine up a bit (800Mhz or greater), then you can capture MPEG2 using a software codec. The quality is acceptable.
If money is a real tight issue, there are some people over at VCDHelp (http://www.vcdhelp.com) that have had success with a software capture card (not hardware - captures are done into AVI first then converted using TMPGEnc) that cost less than $25. Take a look at this thread:
