| 1170644 | 2011-01-17 23:52:00 | I want to record satellite freeview TV onto my computer and save and replay it from my hard drive. I am looking at getting this (www.computerlounge.co.nz). Any recommendations from users would be appreciated. |

If you want to record a different channel than you are watching, you need a dual tuner : dual of the same type. I gave up on my PC TV tuners. I had a sat & tried a DVB-T . Set top box was just more reliable. |

| 1170646 | 2011-01-18 03:01:00 | it should work fine, but possibly checking what software it comes with might be a good Idea. I have an HVR1200 for DVB-T and it mostly works well but there were some setup issues under XP. When I got mine there was no software easily available that was compatable with NZ's broadcast standard. I don't know if this was true of DVB-S. Quite a rigamarole for me originally, paid for DVBVIEWER, got Power DVD pro for the codecs, and gave up on getting a remote working. Worked brilliantly except nothing will play back the recordings except the original software (VLC comes close but had no sound last time I tried). Windows 7 mostly fixes this, it downloads a few files automatically and away you go. No other software required. I do find Win7 glitches more often than my old setup but its a whole lot easier to get working. |

| 1170647 | 2011-01-18 03:42:00 | For viewing software I would suggest GB-PVR | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1170648 | 2011-01-18 05:25:00 | For viewing software I would suggest GB-PVR Thanks I googled the programme. It appears that it has been superceded by NextPVR (www.gbpvr.com). I have a bit of reading to do. |

| 1170649 | 2011-01-18 06:02:00 | Wow, I did not know that! Must have happened quite recently... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1170650 | 2011-01-18 06:23:00 | Yes, just in the past few months I think. Its quick and easy to setup, but not full documentation yet. The driver choices have expanded recently as well. | PPp (9511) | ||
| 1170651 | 2011-01-18 06:41:00 | I don't think even GB-PVR ever had full documentation :p It worked for what I wanted though, which was recording TV shows with my ATi 550 Pro. I didn't use it as a full-time PVR or anything. I don't like what I read though, that NextPVR says you need to install some Hauppauge software for all analog cards. Mine is ATi and of course I do not have any Hauppauge software with it!! I wonder if Mediaportal 2 is out yet? |

| 1170652 | 2011-01-18 06:59:00 | Too bad GB-PVR or mediaportal didnt work for me. Got so far, neither worked, couldnt even get a signal. So, both went in the bin, and I went back to AverTV | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1170653 | 2011-01-18 21:05:00 | Has anyone here given NextPVR a good trial ?? Im seriously considering it. I had it all working with mediaportal. But was extremly buggy, took hours to setup the TV cards & get it working Crashed often (TV Tuner in mediaportal) & often the TV tuner just wouldnt work (software issues) - both tuner cards I tried had the same issues _ in the end it just wasnt worth the ongoing effort. Still using Mediaportal, just not the tuners. Getting the TV Guide (Chanel program listing) to work was/is a nightmare. But then, it doesnt even work particularly well in my Freeview set-top box. |
