HDTV tuner
Looking for an HDTV tuner for an HTPC. Native resolution on the LCD TV is 1366 x 768. We want to use analog antenna (HDTV over the air) AND analog cable (not HDTV). Video capture is highly desirable. Computer is a Athlon 3700 San Diego (939), 1 gig memory, 7600GS video card. XP-Pro SP2, DirX 9c. Any suggestions? TIA. |

You could get cards with both ATSC and NTSC tuners on them although you can only use one tuner at a time, so to record 2 shows, you'd still need 2 tuners. Or you could get seperate cards. Personally, I use the old Air2PC ATSC only cards you can get on ebay for about $20. I've got 6 of them in my MythTV system. For the analog cable, you'd probably want tuners with onboard mpeg2 encoding if you are going to use more than a couple of them. Whichever you decide to get may depend on what software you are planning to use with it. Since you're running windows I can't help you much. I don't do windows, and I'm not sure what cards it's compatable with multiple tuners. Maybe Beyond TV. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
