| 602611 | 2007-10-17 23:26:00 | Hi all, I have finally found what I want in the way of a tv tuner. www.hauppauge.co.uk www.playtech.co.nz Playtech has a great deal on it at the moment, I'm just wondering if anyone has this model and could comment on it, or perhaps recommend something better? I really have no idea when it comes to TV tuners, apart from knowing Hauppauge is a damn good brand. Cheers. ;) Edit: Oh bugger wrong forum. A mod can move this if they feel the urge. |

Handya has the 4000 model (see the thread a few days ago about SKYTV for his comment) ... I suggest you PM him or something about it. |

| 602614 | 2007-10-18 00:30:00 | A mate of mine has the 4000 aswell, bloody good cards doubt you'll have any issues. Hauppauge is well support by all the media front ends etc | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 602615 | 2007-10-18 00:36:00 | The 4000 is looking that little bit sweeter than the 3000 right now.... :p | wratterus (105) | ||
| 602616 | 2007-10-18 00:41:00 | No point bothering with the 4000 all its brings to the table is support for DVB-S2 which is just high def over satellite a service we wont be getting in NZ. You wont see any gains for the increase in cost. My friend was a muppet and shouldn't have wasted his money on the 4000 when the 3000 would have sufficed. |

What sort of hi-def are we getting in NZ if it is not DVB-S2? |

| 602619 | 2007-10-18 01:48:00 | What sort of hi-def are we getting in NZ if it is not DVB-S2? Hi-Def will be transmitted via DVD-T next year, with the first Hi-Def content expected to be the Olympics |

| 602620 | 2007-10-18 01:54:00 | Hi-Def will be transmitted via DVD-T next year, with the first Hi-Def content expected to be the Olympics I looked at the freeview website, and it said that hi def signal will be transmitted using the old UHF aerials, which does seem a bit backwards. It says there are no current plans to transmit it over satellite, but I suppose they always may in the future, which would make the 4000 model worth it if they did decide to. I may hold off on one of these tuners until next year once they have got hi def working. |
