The Bottom Line	Pinnacle Studio MovieBox DV combines outstanding video-editing software with flexible hardware, making it easy to transfer video to and from any device.	Of the external TV tuners we've seen, we recommend the Diamond XtremeTV PVR600 above the others for its strong image quality and inclusion of A/V cables and a remote control.		For the casual home user, this reasonably priced device with an all but nonexistent learning curve offers an easy way to convert analog video to digital form.
