Usually cheap capturing devices doesn’t have good picture quality. I saw once such a device - it captured 25 fps video with only 256 colors or low resolution.
If you want a cheap solution then an ATI All-in-wonder could be a choice. This card is a combination of a video card, tv-tuner and a capture device. It also has video-in, video-out and MPEG1 and 2 onboard hardware codec. And it comes with software too which is highly configurable.
Some time ago I captured with an All-in-wonder a footage from a professional video camera. The result was beyond my expectations: it’s hard to tell which video comes from the original and which is from the capture (well, not so hard, but it’s very close).

You can find some Hauppage tuners for under $100 ... they'll pull 800x600 captures @ 29.97Hz

(some of them anyways)
