134656	2003-04-09 12:57:00	Your TV card will have to have the right chip set for the sky software to work. i can't get the sky software to work with my card.(bugger)	BootyLicious (526)
134657	2003-04-09 13:33:00	I have almost managed to decode sky with a flyvideo 2000 card with exotv. It works for a second or two then scrambles for another few seconds before it is of a viewable standard again. I have had no luck getting hvcplus to work with this card which I have heard of other people having success with.	Jim T (3571)

Dude - Ive started a PF1 fad :D ;-) Your PC anyways is more than fine for running it, and most should come with capturing capabilities. As for Sky, the best I get is Prime, that's it :(	Chilling_Silence (9)
134661	2003-04-10 00:42:00	What are the quality of these cards you have?? Can you watch tv on your Comp at fullscreen high resolution??? I remember trying 3FlyVideo Cards a few years ago, 98,2000 and 2000Pro and all were equally useless and were over $300. I couldnt even get a picture it was that bad.	PoWa (203)
134662	2003-04-10 01:58:00	I run a Flyvideo 98 card in an XP 2 GHz system. Runs fine, but full screen resolution is dissapointing compared to a real TV. I never use it full screen. They are fussy about video cards, as to how well they run at lower speed CPU's it seems. In a 667 MHz system I could not run at full screen, as overlay wouldnt work.	godfather (25)
134663	2003-04-10 02:13:00	I had a WinFast TV 2000 XP Deluxe in my system for a few months, bought for $100 new from a local store in Newmarket (and sold for $130 on TradeMe.co.nz - go figure!) and I liked it, however I found I used it 90% of the time to listen to FM radio (could get all NZ stations crystal clear) and 10% to watch TV! Blinkin' expensive radio. TV picture quality was pretty poor except for TV 2 which was very clear. I think it was because I had it plugged into an arial that was sitting on top of my machine's workstation/desk thing so intereference was probably an issue there. I played around with capturing TV - I recorded an episode of Friends and cringed when I saw that the .mpeg file took almost 1Gb of HDD space. I then watched it picture-in-picture with live TV in the corner which impressed the girlfriend but I wasn't a fan of the quality. Full-screen was just a no-no (1280x1024x32 on a 19" CRT), a quarter of the screen was ok. Think of the quality as a program you taped onto VCR played back... pretty grainy and faded mono sound. I had to watch a DVD to cheer me up. I do remember with fondness one night I had to grab an update off the net and watched The X-Files in the corner while surfing at the same time. Usefull TV Tuner card moment indeed. I liked to listen to the radio while surfing the net, but the ads reminded me of why I have mp3s on my machine and CDs in the car, so I ended up selling it to free up the PCI slot and any resources it was using in my quest for gaming excellence =) Oh, I should mention it came with some good software that I used to capture camcorder footage with, but other than that it was just a toy I used every once-in-a-while.
