It's the only component in the PC thats attached to every single device - it needs to be good. Putting new hardware in with an old PSU is not a good idea. :groan: |

Sorry dude for hijacking your thread... should we make our own or pm? :lol: Fair point. You do tend to get carried away in the moment. If a mod sees this, move our ramblings to a new thread. 400w is ok for now, in fact you shouldn't NEED to upgrade if your not putting any new hardware in there. I was imagining an old 300w. :o |

| 663784 | 2008-04-29 05:35:00 | I have a Sky dish on the roof and wiring running down to the lounge - all left by the previous owner. Would the same dish and wiring suite the new free service? | Scouse (83) | ||

| 663786 | 2008-04-29 05:40:00 | How about sticking to the original subject of this thread ? (start a thread on pc tuners etc) I have never got Sky, due to the high prices and the fact that the channels they offer do not suit me. And I don't feel like wasting all my time blobbing out infront of a non computer screen. |

| 663788 | 2008-04-29 06:30:00 | I would just get a DVB-S PCI card for your PC and connect the satellite cable directly to it. Can pick them up for around $120. Use something like MediaPortal, which is free, and away you go, nice digital TV on your PC. With a full working EPG for recording any of the Freeview channels. In fact with MediaPortal you can record one channel and watch another if they are on the same transponder. I am about to get rid of Sky. I have had it only to get the free channels - $18 per month - but now that I have my HTPC getting the freeview channels it has only been there for Prime really. I can put up a UHF aerial to get Prime so will just do that I think. Password send me a PM as I am in Whangarei too and could help with anything you may need :cool: |
