| 364788 | 2005-06-17 21:51:00 | I have been looking at a number of the personal digital video records, mostly linux based like those found at www.mythtv.org and the question I have is this - what frequencies does sky tv broadcast at (I run saturn cable that might be more relevant) what are the best tv capture cards, and can I change channels with teh capture card and do any on-the-fly decoding? Essentially I would like to bypass the decorded and record direct so as I dont have to be there to change channels. Interested to see if anyone has done anything like this. Also, I am aware that Sky are bringing out new decorders with integrated storage but I also want to rebroadcast throughout my house. Cheers |

Some tuners come with remotes, but the remote will most probably only work with the program it came with. BUT u can change channels (for free to air programs), and record with the remote. |
