| 414452 | 2005-12-21 17:33:00 | What outputs has the decoder got? RCA and s-video? Does the TV have RCA and s-video, or just RCA? RCA and the arial plugs into my VRC and then my TV from the Sky . But I was looking at the jaycar catalogue and I can get an RCA to S-Video adapter Sky decoders don't come with s-video outputs, so that card would be no good . They only have rca or scart . Yes I have noticed that, but as above I can get an RCA to S-Video adapter |

| 414453 | 2005-12-21 21:23:00 | I was looking at the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-350 The 250 and 350 are being discontinued; I thought it was already off the market. Basically Hauppauge found a less expensive source for the MPEG encoders and decoders. Having said that, I think Hauppauge produces the best MPEG encoders on the market, and is highly supported. There's a number of software manufacturers that specify Hauppauge as the standard card. The tuner has very little use here in New Zealand, since most people don't use over-the-air TV; most use Sky or Telstra. Hauppauge's included Infra-red "IR" blaster can be used to change channels on Sky's or Telstra's decoders. Basically it memorizes the IR codes from your remote control, and "blasts" (plays) the IR codes back on command. Most (all?) personal video recorder "PVR" software supports IR blasters, either directly or indirectly via DOS shells. |

Actually Sky have two models, the one you're using, and another with an s-video out. You just have to ask when they do the install. By the way, Dick Smith sells SCART to S-video conventor, which is superior to RCA. |
