| 545801 | 2007-05-01 02:53:00 | When can we expect to see dvd recorders with built in freeview decoders? | Greven (91) | ||
| 545802 | 2007-05-01 03:15:00 | Im with Somebody, what about decoding it through your PC? Will you need special software if you have the dish? Is it only possible through the use of TV-In & a hardware decoder box? Even un-officially through something like H**Plus? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 545803 | 2007-05-01 03:33:00 | Looks like u can get it on a PC now (www.ascent.co.nz) I doubt that you'll have to get special sw. It looks like this comes with it. Just as long as it can decode the signal. And since its free, It's most probably not encrypted. |

"WinTV-HVR-900 brings analogue and digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T) to your PC or laptop! Watch, pause and record analogue or DVB-T digital TV in a window or full screen using high quality MPEG-2. And use the WinTV Scheduler to record you favourite analogue or digital TV shows. Play your TV recordings back to your screen any time." Suspect it may also only be a UK Mpeg2 version not Mpeg 4 that's going to be used here.. |

| 545807 | 2007-05-01 10:47:00 | my friend is watching freeview via a pc card he bought on trademe( about $80 it was a german made card ), hes using his existing sky dish which goes into his card. the included software means he can also record the freeview channels also. ill trip over in the weekend and nosey it some more :) he says the quality is excellent! | Term_X (560) | ||
| 545808 | 2007-05-01 11:36:00 | So? Convert it and burn it to DVD. Whats the diff. I think what they mean is that it is a DVB-T USB tuner. You need a DVB-S tuner to get Freeview via Sat. FreeView aren't doing digital UHF terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) until next year and even then not everywhere. |

| 545809 | 2007-05-01 15:13:00 | So, something like these two auctions would work then? www.trademe.co.nz Or if I were to order a USB 2 device from overseas: www.wizardsatellite.co.uk I guess the product Im most interested in would be this one, due to my Media box needing low-profile cards: www.ifocus.co.nz All _should_ work? |

| 545810 | 2007-05-01 20:26:00 | Something like this may be of interest to those who want to get sat tv and be able to record it on the same device. www.freeviewshop.co.nz |
