A standard Pinnacle PCTV will suffice, no need for the Pro version, 
unfortunately, it might be discontinued as well.

The BT878 based ProLINK PixelView PlayTV pro is still around, see:

There are probably others still around.

It's probably most convenient to run rat on the same PC as the one running 
the VenueClient.
