Dual TV card help

[Padders]

I’m after a PCI dual Freeview card to use with Vista’s media centre, I’ve been looking at the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-500 Media Centre Edition but need to know whether I can pass through the aerial signal to my plasma – so if I want to I can entirely bypass the PC.

Basically I need to know whether I can run the aerial lead to the pc and then from the pc to the plasma? Googling hasn’t really cleared this up for me.

Cheers.

Ah thanks, yeah I thought as much - I'd thought about splitting the input but thought that would degrade the signal more than actualy just passing it through.

Deffo food for thought - I'm now wondering how good my signal to plasma actually is - it's currently running through my video to dvd recorder to HD freeview box to plasma... never noticed the picture degrading tho...

Does splitting reduce the signal strength?

Cheers.
