Tv card question

[despotofmidnor]

Sorry if this is the wrong place, i didnt know if to put this here or in graphics cards

Im looking at this tv card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-008-CP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=169

Im guessing it s a popular one so i might get a good answer, does this run on windows 7 64?
And how big is it, because im looking for a small one so it doesn't block the fan intakes on graphics card.
Also, its pce not pci-e right? Only have pci slots left.

THanks

Dredging this up from the depths.
Thinking of buying this week.
Any help? Need a good tv card with freeview for £30 that can auto on the pc to record when im not in
Thanks.

Sorry no-one has replied to you. I originally used the Hauppauge Nova-T-500 but it'll only wake from standby and I think it's just died on me, so my plan is to get the dual-tuner Compro E900F, although it's a lot more than £30 and it's PCI-E. I think the general rule with drivers is that if it works in Vista, it'll work in 7.

I'll be interested how you get on as I was thinking about using Vista Ultimate with PowerDVD 9 Ultra enhancements instead of XP MCE 2005 on my next HTPC, but after using Windows 7 on a laptop it looks promising.

Thanks for the info about only coming on from standby.
I might be able to push to £40, but thats a max
