It costs about $200 there can be some loss if you dont configure it
properly but if you tweak it you get some ok video. I must say this
isn't a perfect substute for a par or pvr. with this you get a little
more than you pay for. if you get the PC Mall catalog they are in there.
there is one converter one step up $300 that does a much beter job it
