Hi Folks:
I'm trying to set up a PVR system, using my current PC - my situation is this: Although I live in an area with good digital freeview signal strength/quality, I am planning on moving within a year - currently the area I am planning on moving to has very poor signal strength/quality. I think my only terrestrial choice will be analogue channels. The PC will also only have a set-top aerial connected to it - for various reasons there is no access , nor any possibility of access, to the (very old anyway!) rooftop aerial. I would like to have the choice of analogue/freeview, but also have time-shifting functionality and sceduled recording to hard drive. My current thinking is - an analogue PVR card (possibly a hauppage, although they are not too well regarded it would seem. THey do come with timeshifting/PVR software though), a freeview exterrnal decoder, and a big hard drive for recordings. I can use the current soundcard in the system, which is fine. I am running windows CP, but would consider a dual boot inorder to use something like MythTV if there were no viable alternative under windows. I was going to go for the Nebula DigiTv, but that would give me no access to analogue terrestrial channels. What would you regard to be the best analogue receiver card/PVR software combination? Thanks for any advice, Mike |
