That is correct.

Composite = 1 video channel
s-video = 2 video channels
Component = 3 video channels

I have one. Well worth it, IMO. Never actually had an issue with mine.

Are there different models
I read the model codes are differentnonly because if their documentation.

Eg: happauge sells model 1212, bur amazon and play.com sell model 01128

Yes, there are different models. Some have FM tuners, some have Component Jacks, Updated Firmware, etc. etc.

Most models have the essentials though. Mine has a Composite Input, S-Video Input, ATSC Tuner, and FM Radio Tuner. Unless you're trying to get Full 1080 HD using the card, you won't need anything other than a basic model with the features mine has.

Also, if you get one, don't use the provided software. Only install the necessary drivers. The TV/Radio software that ships with it sucks hard. Just use it with Windows Media Center (if you're running Windows, of course). It'll work a lot better.

I would pull up my card, but NewEgg is being stupid slow today.

I am going to buy the one from play.com I think model 01228. Is yours black?

No, mine is an internal PCI card. Is that one external?

Regardless, I've never had an issue so you should be good. Link?

That's a nice piece. Should work well for you.
