hey i know its come up quite a bit and i have done some searchs. But i keep seeing conflicting opinions on differnt tv cards.

Ive heard both good and bad about Hauppauge with terrible software so im not sure about them.

Looking at around 50-60 not really bothered if its a bit above or bellow i just want to get a good quality tv card.

I would like to have a dual tuner in it and dont really know anything else about them :)

I was thinking about the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 Dual digital DVB-T PCI TV Tuner card

What do you guys think?

Same card I have, works fine. Unsure about the software I use Vista Media Centre which does everything I need.

Snag... I have 4 gig mem and I currently can only use 3.07 gig!
Get my memory back if I enable memory remapping but them the card stops working :rolleyes:

Hauppage are doing a fine job of ignoring the problem...
 
The Compro VideoMate E700 PCI-E Dual DVBT Tv Card?

Its the same price, wonder waht the differences are. I think id rather PCI as the PCI-e is in a tough spot to get to and i may not be able to fit one in there actually. may have to check tht.

I could always put it in the spar PCI-E x16
 
thats fine by me. I just want one that i can plug in and use it with windows media player and be happy with getting all the channels possible. Is it to muc hto ask :p lol.

Also id like to be able to record all the films i like, ill be fine doig taht on a single wd AAKS wont i?

if u have vista64... i would say contact your motherboard maker. seems like a bios issue.

but if your running vista32 then thats your problem.
 
Ok then thanks, thats set. Now to sort out my 7.1 which randomly died one day :confused: may need to get a replacement for that as well.

:EDIT:

You have 500w subwoofers :| mmm how much wehre they? My nabours already hate me because i play drums, im sure they wont mind if i got some 500w subwoofers too! l

TV cards work on vista 64 now? I'll need to have a look at them again, when i was trying get one that would work at the beginning of last year i had no luck. bought a fair few of them too, not all of them were returnable. Pain in the ass tbh so i gave up and bought a new TV instead :p

But if they are working now would be handy.

yes most good tv cards work in vista64.. i have 2 tv cards in my system, 1 TerraTec Cinergy 2400i DT dual dvb-t pci-e and 1 WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 dvb-s2 pci... both are running in vista64 fine..
 
I think to say you like base might warrent a 100w subwoofer. A 1000w is a tad OTT. I gues you have to take all your own speakers when you do Djing?

Either that or your a chav who to "who can get the most annoyingly loud speakers" over the top.

Their cars would probably fall apart if you put 1000w subwoofer in it.

yep i have to take my own speakers , amps.. 1000w isn't OTT when your a dj, a 100w wouldn't be enough... of course i don't use the 1000w in my home system, i use the 500w's on that which sounds good..
