| 803422 | 2009-08-22 04:58:00 | Another WHS question... lol Does anyone know of a TV tuner card that supports WHS (aka Server 2003)? They all seem to only support desktop OSs. I'd prefer PCI but would be able to do USB at a push :) If there isn't one, would it be possible to have it stream from an XP VM, while still having a reasonable resolution (above 640x480 preferably)?? TIA |

| 803423 | 2009-08-22 06:03:00 | haven't actually done it with my WHS - as I have a seperate media Center PC - only have movies available from WHS, playing on the Media Center. BUT found This list of cards (www.wegotserved.com) -- many manufactures wont list all available OS's -- Spose, as Server 2003 is really server software, not for watching TV :lol: |

| 803424 | 2009-08-22 07:47:00 | I have a couple of Hauppauge Nova-S Plus cards in my WHS. I use the TV Server part of Mediaportal to tune in & record the Freeview Satellite channels. I then have the Mediaportal client part installed on all the other PCs/laptops in the house so they can all be used to watch/record live TV and play back recorded TV. The Hauppauge drivers installed sweet as on WHS. Mediaportal on the other hand required a bit of hacking to get it installed as it requires WMP11, which you can't just install on WHS/server 2003. |

| 803425 | 2009-10-01 01:31:00 | Gidday guys, Sorry to dredge up a month old thread . . . But I am attempting to do what you guys have done - but with little success . My WHS is brand new with dual core processors, 3Gig of RAM and 2 TB of storage space . Works really well . :) So I figured it would be nice to have a DVB-S card in the WHS to record TV and then play it back to the other networked PCs . So I googled for a few days and bought a Hauppauge Win-TV Nova-S Plus PCI card and installed it in the WHS . All drivers installed Ok and I can get a picture via composite input from my Freeview decoder . . . . BUT . . . I cannot get Win TV to tune to the Optus D1 bird . . . I am sure I have tried all LNB settings, but I must be missing something . I know that the signal is coming out of the coax right beside my PC, as the DSE decoder gets a 100% signal . I have tried duplicating the setup there, but am clearly doing something wrong! Can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up the Win-TV software to work with Freeview? TIA Macca |
