"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Is that a standard CableCard there in photo #13? I thought Tru2Way would use a different kind of card? I've read some articles which talked about downloadable security modules, thus eliminating the need for a physical card. It seems like it would be in everyone's best interest to get away from the current PCMCIA CableCard form factor. If a physical card is a regulatory requirement, I would think that an inexpensive SD card could do the job.
