| 551233 | 2007-05-19 22:48:00 | Hi i,m looking at installing a tv card in my pc so i can record programs.I currently have a dvd recorder which is playing up,so i was wondering what is best,putting a tv card in my computer or buying another dvd recorder.Is the picture quality on the tv card as good as a dedicated recorder and any recommendations on a card.I was thinking of getting a card which does analogue and digital,since tv is starting to go digital.The card i was looking at is an Avermedia. | mrplane (11854) | ||

| 551235 | 2007-05-20 06:58:00 | I recommend WinFast TV cards, we have two tv cards (One tv card & one USB tv box for the laptop), & they seem a lot better then Prolink PixelView tv cards. :2cents: |

| 551236 | 2007-05-20 07:14:00 | I have to second Hauppauge :thumbs: With the cards you can set the quality above DVD which means the signal will be the restriction on overall quality. IE you are not going to get better quality from a TV tuner if you have bad reception |

| 551237 | 2007-05-20 14:54:00 | You could do that, I google'd for some local ones too. Would be 'future-proofing' yourself a little there if you did. The cards dont look too shabby.. however for the price of one of the Hauppauge cards, why not buy one of those then another one several months down the track when you're ready. Remember that DVB-T wont be available in NZ for around a year yet.... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Hauppauge are the way to go, Flyview / Winfast / Pixelview / whatever are all cheap brands (although I use them myself, I know they're not super...) |

| 551240 | 2007-05-21 10:31:00 | That is a great card and I was looking at getting one, but I couldn't get one in NZ a month ago... Where have you ordered that from and how much? | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 551241 | 2007-05-21 20:21:00 | Hi i,m looking at installing a tv card in my pc so i can record programs.I currently have a dvd recorder which is playing up, What kind of DVD Recorder do you have and how old is it? Some of us will be buying a dvd recorder and it would be good to know what to stay away from. Thanks. |
