This uses high speed ADCs to capture the signal. Anyone know the bandwidth of VHS? If it's narrow enough, using a much cheaper SDR could be an option.

The usage of a DC blocking capacitor implies it's not baseband.

~5.5mhz split 3.4m luminance 400khz chroma / 1.7mhz stereo fm audio
Yeah that's too wide for say an RTL SDR
much cheaper than $30 25MHz 16bit/50MHz 8bit cards they are using?

wait waht? tyop? if not please tell me where i may ask Santa for this item cuz i wants it.

I see it now; it needs crystal replacement to run at 8bit 40MHz it seems.
First item in readme was much more expensive than that
