TV tuner cards only have one tuner on board, so even if the PC was fast enough to time slice, the tuner is not nearly fast enough to be able to respond to switching channels in that manner. The TV card is just a TV tuner module interfaced to the PCI bus, its not magic or high tech by any means. Technically it's possible with multiple tuners, perhaps the cards exist but never seen or heard of one (but never looked either) |

| 233309 | 2004-05-04 21:37:00 | The other thing with this Tuner I got (It may also apply to other PCI TV tuners, as well), was that the drivers/or the tuner program, that came on the CD which comes with it, weren't compatible with Hyperthreading . So, I HAD TO email Leadtek, and notify them of this . Because this system kept rebooting itself, after I installed the drivers/TV tuner program from the CD (With HT enabled) . So, Leadtek made an HT compatible version of both the drivers, and especially the program itself, so it wouldnt reboot HT systems . So, take note . If you have a system, which has HT enabled . And it does the above . It's most probably the drivers, or the program that came with the tuner, thats causing the problem . And that's why it's a good idea to get the latest version of BOTH from the manufacturer's site . And like this tuner, I would say, install the drivers FIRST . Then the TV tuner program, that came with the TV tuner . |
